When Rain Falls

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Constance R. Bergum. When rain falls in a neighborhood, field, wetland, or desert, the animals in those environs seek shelter (e.g., ants in their underground nests) or use their bodies for protection (the squirrel's bushy tail serves as an umbrella). The minimal text conveys some interesting facts, and the watercolor illustrations adequately depict the natural settings, but the human figures are awkwardly stiff.
