A pleasing and informative exploration of a storm-drenched world. —Kirkus Reviews This book may inspire young scientists to look more closely at their neighborhood nature. —Booklist Spicer Rice’s exclamatory dialogue helps introduce scientific concepts including evaporation, puddling, and humidity. The narration’s focus on inference-based definition seems primed to prompt discussion and close examination of the jungle-like artwork, which consistently captivates, mingling flora and fauna for an immersive experience. —Publishers Weekly
