  As part of the Let's look at series, this illustrated book aims to encourage children to learn about the world around them and, in particular, to awaken their interest in rain. The intention has been to design books with straight-forward presentation, lively artwork and clear layout which can be used as first information books. The author attempts to help children understand the cycle of rain falling and how it is created. She explains how water rises from the sea and where the rain eventually falls, with a description of the different types of clouds and their formation. The importance of rain to living things is stressed, together with the problems caused by too much or too little rain. There are sections dealing with rainy seasons, monsoons, flooding and frozen rain, plus storing rain and its many uses. The text is accompanied by a glossary, a further reading list and an index.
