This book is quite short.  It makes a great read-aloud for Baby and is very interactive with onomatopoeia, action words, and descriptions that activate multiple senses.  That’s quite a feat for a simple board book with no more than five words on each of its ten pages! Very simple book for the little one.

Rain Feet was written by Angela Johnson. 

Summary

A young boy dresses for and interacts with rain and puddles on his street in this simple and joyous spring board book. [1]

Pros

More evocative in their use of language than many other board books, this quartet traces small moments in the life of Joshua, an African American boy. He dons slicker and galoshes in the first book to parade joyfully ``jumping, hopping,/ all in yellow/ through puddles with rain feet.' [2]

This is a short and sweet board book about enjoying the rain! [3]

This book is quite short. It makes a great read-aloud for Baby and is very interactive with onomatopoeia, action words, and descriptions that activate multiple senses. That’s quite a feat for a simple board book with no more than five words on each of its ten pages! Very simple book for the little one. [4]
