In 1962, American folk singers Peter, Paul, and Mary released their debut album, including the track "It's Raining, It's Pouring," which combined beloved nursery rhymes. Fifty years later, illustrator Christine Davenier built a delightful story around the song, her cheerful paintings depicting a family full of children entertaining themselves indoors on a rainy day. Your young reader will love this melodic read in any weather, especially when you cue up the included CD - featuring "It's Raining, It's Pouring" and two other songs by Peter, Paul, and Mary - for a storytime sing-along! For ages 2 to 5 years. (KG)
