JUST WEIRD...

THIS BOOK IS JUST A BUNCH OF NONSENSE SENTENCES & THE DRAWINGS ARE STRANGE. I DON'T GET IT & THERE PROBABLY IS NOTHING TO GET. IF YOU WANT AN ODD BOOK, THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD, TRY- WHO NEEDS DOUGHNUTS. OUR FAVORITE BOOKS ARE THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA AND THE GRUFFALO.
And This Book Makes Great Joy - Forever!

Oh JOY! Indeed what an absolute joy to type in the title 'Rain Makes Applesauce', and find out that this glorious book is in print again!I've read every other Amazon Customer Review of this book, & I agree with every single person: this is a Must-Have book for children AND adults. I have not seen it since my 4 years in college where I spent 4 years purchasing copies & either giving them as presents to my friends, or simply never getting them back when loaned. Hence when other reviewers right here tell you such things as 'my children had to take it out every other week from the library for YEARS because they adored it so much' - & that another actually went on to become an artist because of 'Rain' - & that Christmas simply STOPPED for yet another family while 2 excited daughters, now adult, put everything else aside until they'd re-read 'Rain' from end to end: BELIEVE THEM! 'Rain Makes Applesauce' is an infinitely memorable book with exquisite illustrations. It speaks to all whose hearts are young. Here is that rare, one-in-a million book suffused with an ineffable joy & replete with that exquisite silliness found only in the observations of those gifted with Innocence no matter what their chronological age. Children fall in love with this book the moment it begins. Adults do, too. Even if you don't have children: buy it for yourself. Or find a family to give it to, for the that singular pleasure found only in hearing the unstudied laughter of children welling up unstoppably and spilling out like - Yes! - like the most delicious of rains.
Great rhymes and fantastical illustrations

This was one of my absolute favorite books as a child. I used to make my mother check it out of the library again and again. I was fascinated by the elaborate drawings, but the rhymes of the book are also very memorable. I even received a copy as a adult when it came back into print! Now I will share it with my niece who is about the age that I was when I first read the book!
