Customer Reviews

What a wonderful book!

This is a delightful book to read aloud. My 3 year old gives it the highest compliment: when I finished reading it to him, he said "Read it again". Karen Jerome's paintings are light, lively and delightful!

Wonderful reading!

Originally published in 1946 by Lippincott, with illustrations by Tibor Gergely, this new Meadow Gees Press edition of Karen Jerome's beautifully drawn and colored artwork adds a splendid visual element to a classic and engaging poem written by Nancy Byrd Turner in When It Rained Cats And Dogs. The poem tells the story of a day when it literally rained cats and dogs, each falling harmlessly into the arms of a child. The illustrations realistically capture a variety of breeds while at the same time imparting a cheerful sense of fun. This poem-based picture book is wonderful reading for children and would be a very welcome addition to any school or community library collection.

An American classic back in print!

Karen Jerome's vibrant watercolor art brings this classic poem to life. Geared for pre-readers to be read to by their parents, everyone will enjoy the fantasic day when it rained nothing but Cats and Dogs!
