After it Rains

The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning! The counting aspect is fun, and I love the nature theme of this book!

After it rains (illustrated in the spring or summer...)

This charming book counts up to ten using things to see and do after it rains in these wonderful seasons when the grass is green, and bright living things are everywhere.

The illustrations are simple and delightful, so reading this over and over with a child will be fun for the adult as well as the child--sparking memories and suggesting future activities!

I recommend this book for all ages.

This is a good counting book for spring, and I especially enjoyed the illustrations. I’d borrow it from the library but not one I’d pick to add to our bookshelf.

A beautifully illustrated counting book for your earliest book lovers! Perfect for storytime and bedtime with readers ages birth - four. Bright pictures with easily counted objects and lovely text to go along with it. A perfect gift for a new baby.

This sweet counting book will delight little ones and the colourful simple illustrations are perfect for the age group targeted. Numbers from 1-10 are featured and enriched by sights and activities that take place after a rainfall.

Featured in board book format "After It Rains: A Counting Book" is perfect for little hands to manoeuver and to read again and again. Angela Doak's collage-style artwork, made with bits of recycled paper and foil wrappers, gives the illustrations interesting layers of colour and texture. This would be a fun book to share and talk about all the things you can enjoy after it rains making the book interactive too! I highly recommend it.

Joanne Schwarz's book 'After it Rains' is a colorful, engaging picture book. Young children practice number words, experience natural events, and can relate to the children stomping in the rain puddles. This is a beautiful little book.

This is an adorable counting book and would be great for storytimes. I also think it would be great for kids starting out reading on their own.

Love the artwork. I would have liked it more if the story had more rhythm to the words, but a good, basic counting book.

A very simple 1-10 counting book celebrating the natural world. The art is colorful and slightly stylized/abstract. Kids can enjoy counting animals and plants that emerge after the rain. This is worth trying with toddlers and pre-K kids to reinforce counting skills in a new context.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

When the rain stops, a young child explores what nature has left behind in this book about numbers.

I selected this book because I found the cover and blurb very attractive. The layout and artwork were very professional, as was the grammar and editing.

The author does a nice job of counting things found in nature, with beautiful illustrations to help the reader understand. However, I was a little disappointed in the layout. Every time I turned a page, the numbers were on the left-facing page while the illustrations were one the right. I would have liked to have seen more variety, with numbers on alternating pages and perhaps some two-page images with the words on the top or bottom.

This book was also a straight counting book with no story to hold everything together. While a child is featured in some of the images, no characters are mentioned.

Overall, I found this to be a cute story excellent for young readers.

My thanks to the author and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
