Take a moment to appreciate the unique artwork in this charming read-aloud book. It has the look of a wood cut print (or lino cut) where you carve out a picture, roll ink over it and make a print on paper. It is quite detailed, almost like scratchboard would be. My artsy-self appreciated the fine detail on every page. The words are minimal, but go with the staccato pace of a rainstorm. It makes you want to go jump in a puddle at the end, so have your boots ready! ~Sara
