Classic Pictures Contemporary Feeling

Jim Arnosky's Rabbits and Raindrops brings to mind many classic picture books. It has a charming story coupled with pictures that betray the artist as a true lover of authentic naturalism. My children love this tale and it is one of my favorites as well.

wonderful illustrations!

My 4 year old daughter loves this book! She really enjoys finding all of the creatures hiding throughout the story. The best part is the ending- it makes her giggle every time.

Rabbits and Raindrops

This lovely book chronicles the experiences of a family of baby rabbits on their first day out of the nest. They frolic on the grass, nibble clover blossoms and leaves, and meet spiders, grasshoppers, and bees. Then a rainstorm materializes, and mother and baby bunnies seek shelter under a hedge. The shower ends and the rabbit family is off again to explore and play in the sun. The simple text is perfectly complemented by Arnosky's beautiful watercolor illustrations. Arnosky's paintings show that he is a great lover of nature. This book is great for young children.
