Now that he’s reading a mile a minute, it’s time to hear from my six-year-old again!
The Falling Raindrop by Neil Johnson and Joel Chin. This is a picture book. It is fiction. It is a story about a raindrop. In the book, a raindrop got born and fell into a fire and he turned into water vapor. “The little raindrop had become a wisp of steam!” And he rose into the clouds and he was happy that he would be a raindrop once again. I liked this book because I liked the whole story and the pictures.
Mom’s thoughts: I am currently on the lookout for plenty more water cycle and cloud picture books, and this was a nice one. I liked the minimalist pages, most of which had a single raindrop with a face expressing emotion. I liked the twist at the end to remind me of the water cycle. There was something strange about considering the feelings of a raindrop, but that’s a fantasy for you, I suppose!
