Book Review - Randy the Raindrop - Patty Jean Wiese
Title: Randy the Raindrop
Review: This is a perfect
children’s book. It is easy to read, it is informative, it isn’t too long or
too short and it has amazing illustrations and is just downright adorable. It
is a story about a little raindrop named Randy who falls upon different places
at different times. It shows him landing on a kid’s bike, on a plant, on a
dog’s nose or anywhere you may find rain. The writing is great; it is written
in the first person and rhymes throughout. The illustrations are phenomenal. My children enjoyed the pictures just as much
as I did. Whether your child likes rain or not, they will definitely fall in
love with Randy the raindrop.
Thanks Heather for this review.

picture book.
“I want children to let their

children a new way to look at and enjoy rainy days.”
