We got a few rain books at the library but one really stands out: "Rain Train" by Elena de Roo.
Carson has requested this book over and over again!
From a toddler point of view this is why he loves it:
A) Its about a train!! So it combines something he loves with something we are learning about which is rain.
B) It's got a great rhythmic poetic style or in toddler world: there's rhyming lines he can quote easily like, "All aboard the rain train!"
C) There are sound effect parts on every page like "pitter patter pit."
I love it for all the same reasons if course but it is also beautifully illustrated. And it has a great way of winding down quietly at the end which makes it a great just before nap story!
