Window Music 4 reviews Anastasia Suen
Viking Juvenile, 1998
Excellent art work for a small childs book.
+ Charming verse is wonderful to read aloud. + Visually stunning
I, too, as a proud owner of three Zahares originals, was looking forward to the publication of this book. I was surprized to see such few words, but with this type art work, that is all you need. A simple book to read to youngsters. Looking forward to their next book Delivery.

A mesmeric, lovely book.
I had this book when I was a child, and although we lost our copy a few years back, I still remember both the words and the pictures in almost perfect detail- it's that amazing. "Listen to the Rain" is evocative and beautiful. Captivating paintings interweave with words which are utterly beautiful ...
