Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-07 00:00:00 Donald Duncan Great information book that reads more like a fiction picture book. The main text takes the form of a statement of what someone likes about the rain on one page, followed by a related 'wonder' on the next page. Ex. "I like the rain because I can use my umbrella. I wonder what raindrops look like before they land on me". Then you open the flap for a more detailed (but still in simple language) explanation of the answer to that 'wonder'. Illustrations include a person in a wheelchair and various people of colour.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-05 00:00:00 Jesse Carpenter Fiction and Non-fiction? Ok, this one leans more towards non-fiction, but it has a fictional flow. :-) With its predicted text of "I like the rain because..." the story part takes you through a community to learn why they all like the rain, each, of course, with their own unique reason. The non-fiction part, is both hidden and interactive. The right side of the two-page spread has a flap that asks a open statement, for example: I wonder why it rains. Open the flap and the non-fiction is right there for you, in words and visuals. Pretty clever! You could keep it all fiction, and interactive...asking the students the question (and lead to so many inquiry projects!...and/or gain knowledge of their understanding and misconceptions), or go ahead and open that flap and learn more right there and then. I like it! :)
