This collection of books about rain for toddlers is wonderful all year long. However, they’re really good to pull out on a rainy spring or summer afternoon. Snuggle up with a sweet story today.

Board books are perfect for little hands. Their thick sturdy pages can stand up to busy little ones who may be less-than-gentle with books. Short text and bright pictures engage little listeners and plant seeds to grow life-long readers.
