Yashima does a wonderful job making an umbrella come alive, through the eyes of a little girl. The anticipation builds up in Momo as to when she will be able to but her umbrella to use. The rain took forever to come but when it did, her umbrella came alive and so did the rain as it danced and made music on the little girl's umbrella. Cute children's story and the illustrations are very colorful and pretty to look at. The Japanese symbols on the top corner of each page add to the celebration of the Japanese culture. This book is for 4-6 years old and it would be great to ask question about the weather in circle time.
1- Use some cotton and cut some construction paper and ask the chid to glue them in the the paper after you have asks them what does the weather looks like.? is it sunny? cloudy? or is it going to rain by predicting you are helping the children to develop his/her sense of intuition in the weather.
