Duckie is in a hurry to get home. She walks through a red poppy field, hops under an orange bridge, waddles around a yellow cornfield, rushes past a big green tree, and paddles across a deep blue pond. By the time she reaches her nest, it has started to rain BUT there is a colorful rainbow at the very end of her travels. An inventive book by Frances Barry that has great visual appeal.<\/p>\n

Robert Kalan\u2019s book starts with Blue sky. Yellow sun. White clouds. Then, suddenly, gray clouds. Gray sky. RAIN. Using strong graphics and very little text, Rain<\/em> explores concepts like weather and colors. Although the visuals are stunning and simple, this book may have been a bit too long for infants, especially after the book, songs & bounces we already shared. Note to self: use a smaller board book for the second read aloud.<\/em><\/p>\n

NURSERY RHYME:\u00a0 Hey Diddle, Diddle…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey diddle, diddle<\/p>\n

The cat and the fiddle<\/p>\n

The cow jumped over the moon.<\/p>\n

The little dog laughed to see such sport<\/p>\n

And the dish ran away with the spoon!
