PSExploring the Elements series.
Illustrated by
Marie Lafrance.
On each double-page spread, a child says why he or she likes rain ("...because sometimes I hear thunder"), then wonders aloud about the rain-related concept ("I wonder why it thunders"). Factual information that addresses each question is hidden under clever lift-up flaps. The main pages' color-saturated acrylic paintings set the scene; spot art on the flaps helps explain the science.
