OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION SOLD WORLDWIDE!

South Central Kansas Library System - "Adding six new verses to the traditional rhyme, Eagle has created a rollicking good time. As the weather changes, the old man and his wife's antics become more humorous. When he sneezes, he blows away his pick-up truck, pops his buttons, runs from bees, falls down a well, and dances with ants in his pants. Each double-page spread is filled with lively full-color illustrations. Use this in storytimes and watch smiles break out over the group".

Melanie Mefford, The Ringling Eagle, Ringling, OK., January 17th, 2002 - "It's Raining, It's Pouring is a wonderful book for children between the ages of three and five. The colorful illustrations will keep the children's attention while they follow the old man's silly activities. Old Willy has a knack for finding trouble in daily situations. The rhythmic sound of the story will have children such as Misty Gass from Mrs. Roberts' third grade class singing about Old Willy bumping his head continuously and about Old Willy's snoring and sneezing as he is dancing around".

Hitting the Books with T.H. Gimotty, The Chattooga Press, Jan. 30th, 2002 - "Kin Eagle's journey through the nursery rhyme is a wonderful trip for any child's imagination. Rob Gilbert's illustrations reveal that when you use your imagination, you can see rhymes and stories you've heard before, in a different light. The rhyming patterns in It's Raining, It's Pouring help young readers with fluency. A great resource for parents and teachers alike".

Sheree van Vreede, Children's Literature - "Remember the old man who bumped his head when he went to bed? Well, he's back, and this time he is sneezy and growing and doing the Lindy with his wife Cindy. This is a hard-bound, durable book that can be taken anywhere. The illustrations are fun and lively".
