(3) PS Harper Growing Tree series. Illustrated by Emilie Chollat. "Water drops / 1 Froggie hops / 2 Spiders skitter / 3 Chickies flitter." Appelt's sparse rhyming text effectively combines with Chollat's bold acrylic illustrations to capture the energy and excitement of a rainy day. Preschoolers may not be familiar with all the verbs, but this won't inhibit the overall success of this simple counting book.
