Top Ten Tuesday: Picture Books About Rain


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

One of my favorite moments as a Long and Short Reviews blogger and reviewer happens when review requests for picture books are submitted to us.

I try to request as many of them as I can because it’s wonderful to see what’s new in that genre and because I deeply enjoy spreading the word about the many beautiful picture books out there.

While I haven’t read any of these picture books yet, they do fit this week’s April Showers theme and they all look adorable.

If you’ve read any of them, please feel free to share your thoughts.

  13. Beautiful chain, Astilbe.

    Your picture reminds me of a children’s book I read with my boys:
    Bourgeois, Paulette Big Sarah’s Little Boots. Such a beautiful story.

    Thank you for visiting my TTT about April Showers and Garden Flowers.

  14. As someone who typically reads anywhere from MG to adult, I really enjoyed learning about your rationale for reviewing and sharing about picture books. The joy that you get from sharing them with others is palpable, and I really liked seeing the cool books that you picked for this week’s topic!

  15. Oh a lot of these titles already sound adorable! Hope you’ll love all of them!
