Formative education

The unanswered question this book asks created in me an opportunity to observe the natural world in an inquisitive and nonjudgmental way, and led me to ask more questions that then required more observation. I believe that is the staying power of May Garelick's original book, which was mine as a child in the 70's. I have no idea who gave me the book, or where it went, but I hope to never lose the sense of wonder and curiosity that I gained from reading it, and I try every day to pass that along to more generations of children.

M y favorite children's book...still stands up!

This charmingly illustrated book was mine as a child of the 1960s and always stayed with me throughout my life. Happily, my mother held on to it and I still have it in my library. It's a magical and memorable book for all ages.

a book to remember

read this to my kids 30 years ago... the original blue & white one... and it is one story they still recall and can recite. Will purchase the new version for them at Christmas for their kids. Wonderful!

My Favorite

My mother read this book to me over 35 years ago and it was always my favorite. I still have the original book with pictures by Leonard Weisgard, Young Scott Books, New York MCMLXI copyright. The book has beautiful shades of blue on every page. I plan to purchase the new version for my preschool, however I'll always treasure my original!

Where does the Butterfly go when it rains?

The original book if I am correct has blue and white illustrations. I owned this book until my mother either lost it or sold it for 25 cents at a garage sale. She felt so bad that she bought me the new edition which is beautiful. I am still looking for the original copy of of this book for it is fabulous!
