K-Gr 2--Rain is essential for all life, and here Gibbons shows youngsters how it forms, the different kinds of rain clouds, and what to do when storm clouds gather. Concentrating on the water cycle, different types of cloud formations, and a variety of types of rain events, this accessible and easy-to-read book can help children to understand the world around them. Small bits of information on acid rain and a variety of nonpolluting energy sources are also offered. Diagrams and maps offer additional details and facts. Full-color illustrations depict an idealized rural/suburban world without reference to cities or urban environments. The adults pictured seem uniformly glum and concerned about potential rain-related disasters, such as floods and monsoons. Useful as an introduction to units on weather and climate.--Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, formerly at Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, NY
