  A portayal of a child's experience of a rainy day. When the rain comes down in sheets and puddles fill the streets, the world is wet, wet, wet - wet windows, wet trees, wet leaves, wet street ...How lovely then to put on a hat and coat and boots and go out in the rain, all snug and dry, into the splashing, sprinkling, dripping world, where cars swish and wipers swish. There are puddles to jump in and raindrops to catch, and, happily, a warm dry home to return to! This rhythmic, poetic text evokes superbly the pleasures of a rainy day and the welcoming warmth of home. Norma Simon is the author of more than forty books for children and first wrote Wet World in 1954. Alexi Natchev has illustrated the book without a lot of realism so that the paintings would reflect the poetry of the text .
