Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BETWEEN THE WORDS AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS - IT WORKS WELL!
Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain by Verna Aardema is somewhat based on a folk tale from Kenya discovered and recorded by British anthropologist Claud Hellis over 70 years ago. As has been pointed out in another review, the tale as told by the folks in Kenya was quite likely not told in the same manner as the author's interpretation, but I have to admit (even though I am not usually fond of messing with the original telling of such tales) that the author has done a wonderful job here.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - wonderful book!
I used this book as a resource for teaching African art. My K-2 students love the pictures of the African animals and don't even realize they are "reading" as they recite the book's rhythms and rhymes along with me. Tying in art with social studies and culture is a great way to reinforce lessons! The students can't wait until Sit Tight and Read time - they all want to read this book again and again.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Second copy
This was purchased so my Granddaughter could have one at her house because she loves the one at my house so much. An "old standard" that is loved for it's wonderful words and repetitions.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Kids Love This Book!
After hearing James Earl Jones read this book on Reading Rainbow, I knew I had to buy it. My two very young sons (ages 1 and 2) sat entranced the whole time. Of course that may have been because it was the voice of Darth Vader, but hey, it's a great book all on its own. My husband now reads this book to them at bedtime every night.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - darth vader
i saw this on reading rainbow when james earl jones narrated it. its my favorite story from the series because it shows how everything is connected, coming together to perform one action. it also inspired me to do cartoon based on how the protagonist made it rain.
