I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Loved this book about a girl who is bored and her parents are busy so she takes a walk and sees some interesting parts of nature. Cute story and illustrations.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

While the premise of the book is good: going out exploring and not being discouraged by the rain. There are some aspects that make me wonder. Like climbing a tree during a thunderstorm....collecting bugs. I think kids will like it though.

The illustrations in this picture book are lovely and help take the reader on a beautiful adventure. A great addition to any library,

So many great things about this book! The illustrations are colorful and gorgeous! A great call to go out in nature and explore it. Also, it challenges gender stereotypes when mom reads the newspaper while dad folds the laundry. I love it!

A wonderful story about the importance of nature. Camille is bored on a Sunday morning, after doing everything in the house she slips outside and gets caught in a rainy adventure. What I think every child should do, enjoy the outdoors. I loved the outdoors as a child and I hope that I can pass that along to mine.
The show is about to begin!

It's a rainy day and Camille is bored. She's read all her books and organized her pencils by color. Her parents are busy so she puts on her raincoat and sneaks out to play. Outside in her garden, she marvels at the rain and the sea of green plants. Noticing many insects heading in one direction she asks where they are going and learns that there is to be a show so she follows along and ends up witnessing something magnificent!

Look, It's Raining! reminds us of the joy of and wonder of a rainy day. Camille bravely sets out into the rain in search of excitement and finds so much of it her own backyard. From dew-drop covered plants to a wide array of insects and other critters that hang about in the garden. This book reminds us to explore, observe, and enjoy the great outdoors no matter the weather.

I enjoyed the message of this book but the illustrations and execution of the story leave a bit to be desired. The illustrations are a bit childish and disproportional but still colorful and detailed.

Pierloot’s book is fantastic. The story was beautiful, and the illustrations were perfect. I enjoyed reading this to my daughter. She loved pointing out the different insects and the beautiful colors used to capture the story. I would recommend this book.

Piove.

E, armata di stivali di gomma e un impermeabile giallo, una bambina esplora un mondo nuovo: quello che nasce e rifiorisce sotto un temporale.

L'idea è graziosa, ma la affossano un testo un po' banale e delle illustrazioni che vorrebbero sembrare ingenue ma risultano solo sciatterelle.

This book is filled with beautiful illustrations and would be an excellent choice to share with younger readers to think about exploring the immediate world around us.

The essence of this book feels like a little bit of everything, minimalist shaping, but with endless shades of color and a lush environment-- just like a rainy day! Camille heads outside on such a day and follows the critters she meets to watch "the show"; a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. Who says the weather isn't nice? This book makes me want to go for a walk on a rainy day, too!

Wonderful! Look It's Raining is a sweet picture book about the wonders of nature and the joys of being outside! It would be right at home next to books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt and Run Wild.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon and Camille has read all her books and tidied her box of pencils by colour and now she is bored. Everyone in the family is busy doing their own thing so she decides to head outdoors and see what nature is up to.

While out there a huge rainstorm, complete with thunder, begins. Does that deter Camille for further exploration? No way, it only makes her more adventurous!

She sticks her tongue out and tastes the rain, observes a column of ants zigzagging across a leaf, discovers a spider spinning his web, and two snails trying valiantly to climb to the top of a big tree, just to name a few. Each of the creatures she encounters is on a mission to get to a show. Puzzled, but curious, she follows their lead and attends one of nature's most magical and mesmerizing shows ever.

After climbing the huge tree Camille discovers a small, shiny black thing suspended from a branch. Can you guess what she found? Can you guess the colourful transformation that she witnesses? Nature is full of wonder and surprises and Camille was lucky enough to be part of the greatest, most beautiful show ever.

The illustrations are quirky and lack perspective. They are colourful and kid-friendly. I like the positive message of getting out of your house and becoming aware of all the busyness and beautiful things that nature has to offer.

This would be a great book to share before an outdoor exercursion whether from home or from a classroom. Whether young or old we need to stop and take time to smell the roses.

Young Camille's family is busy doing chores on a rainy day, so she slips outside and discovers a who world awaits! Sunny days aren't the only days that offer exploration for those who go look. I liked this intro to the natural world. It may encourage a few kids and their parents to go look in their garden for creatures that love rainy days.

Where I live, there has been a lot of rain recently, so this book was a fun reminder of what rain can mean to a child. Camille is bored; her parents are ignoring her and so she decides to amuse herself. When she gets outside and it is raining, Camille discovers the joy in this weather. While on her adventure, she meets some insects and follows them to see something special. When Camille returns home, she encourages her parents to go for a walk with her.

The above is the simple synopsis of the story. In addition, there are lovely illustrations that abound with a love of nature. Save this one for a rainy day read with a child you know.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e galley in return for an honest review.

What a great story, I totally agree with it! At first, the illustrations looked a little strange to me but fast, I got accustomed to them and went straight into the story. Nature is a big role player in this story and I loved how the different animals we can see eveyrday are integrated so that it gives ideas to readers. A great story to remember how nature and outdoors are the best for great times in family!

Camille's bored...Her parents are busy with their own important things to do, so they don't even seem to notice as she puts on her raincoat and slips out to explore the outside world... This part of the book reminded me of Coraline :-)
The message of this book is extremely positive-observe the nature, discover new things, there is always something going on, don't wait for other people to entertain you. Some of the things Camille does are not exactly safe e.g. climbing trees during a thunderstorm ( something a parent/caregiver should explain). Having captured the moment of a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, Camille runs home to share her joy and invites her parents to go for a walk. The illustrations are original, although the style is a bit quirky.
Thank you to NetGalley and Princeton Architectural Press for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

Even if it's raining, there is always something to do. Usually, the rain brings out the excitement in nature and that's what "Look, It's Raining" does for the reader. I love adventure stories and this picture book does an amazing job of taking the reader on an adventure. I think young readers will adore this book as much as I did. It has a little suspense and a lot of surprise!

Interesting artwork and a positive overall message about the importance of going outside and exploring nature are marred by the troubling decision to have a little girl fill her pockets with ants and spiders and climb trees during a thunderstorm. I fear that Look, It's Raining will cause more confusion than anything else when parents have to explain that playing outdoors is wonderful...as long as you don't do the things pictured in this book.

I really didn't take to this. While I liked the moral of the piece, when it was finally revealed, I don't think this mini-adventure of a bored girl exploring a rainy garden is the way to do it. And the artwork (perspective? what's that?) was just bad. The subject of the 'show' the garden creatures keep talking about with the girl (why? how?!) was supposed to be beautiful, but nothing on these pages is. Yes, the moment it encaptures must be brilliant, but I'd rather wait in vain to see it than come here again. One and a half stars, and none of those for the design.

A sweet book about a little girl, Camille, who is bored one Sunday afternoon. Her parents are occupied, so she decides to go outside. She plays in the rain, imagining the various creatures she comes across are speaking to her, urging her not to miss the show- a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. Excited by what she's seen while playing outdoors, she goes home to get her parents to go for a walk, to show them there's always a show to see. I enjoyed the message of the story, to pay attention to what's going on around you, and I liked the bright, colorful illustrations. This would make a good read before an outdoor excursion!
