Product Description
We go inside when the rain comes down, but where do animals go? That depends on the kind of animal and where it lives. Bees hide in hives and ants stay safe in underground nests. Squirrels pull their long bushy tails over their heads like umbrellas. Caterpillars crawl under leaves. This new book for young readers offers a first glimpse at how different animals in different habitats behave during a thunderstorm.
In simple, easy-to-understand language, veteran children s book author Melissa Stewart takes a lyrical look at the behavior of animals in forests, fields, wetlands, and deserts and briefly describes how each creature interacts with its rained-soaked environment. Constance Bergum s soft, watercolor paintings colorfully depict the animals and special features of each habitat. Individual sidebar and panel illustrations provide close-up details of the natural world. |

When Rain Falls 
Perfect for my twins that are 3 yrs old. Great illustrations and a simple explainations as to where the animals hideout during the rain. I sure would love to have an older version of the same with more details of their hideouts..maybe the author will create another one in the near future! We read and re-read again & again..they love it.

When Rain Falls 
Ever since I read this book during a story hour program, I can't keep in on the shelf. I don't think there is any other book on this topic, and kids are fascinated to discover what other creatures do during a rainstorm. They've never thought about how rain can affect much smaller animals. The text is simple yet poetic, and the art is beautiful. I highly recommend this book.

when rain falls
This book has good illustrations and it is a beautiful childresn's book for those around 6 or 7 and under. It is not informative enough for older children.
