When Rain Falls

Exploring animal behavior during thunderstorms, this book reveals how various creatures seek shelter based on their habitats. Young readers will discover how bees retreat to hives, ants burrow underground, and squirrels use their tails as umbrellas. Written in accessible language by Melissa Stewart, the narrative highlights the interactions between animals and their rain-soaked environments across forests, fields, wetlands, and deserts. Constance Bergum's soft watercolor illustrations enhance the experience, offering detailed visuals of each habitat and its inhabitants.
