Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain

FROM SARAH:

The perfect book to pair with RAR favorite, Room for Everyone. This one is a cumulative story, as well, and is also set in beautiful Africa. A joy to read aloud!

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

A cumulative rhyme relating how Ki-pat brought rain to the drought-stricken Kapiti Plain. Verna Aardema has brought the original story closer to the English nursery rhyme by putting in a cumulative refrain and giving the tale the rhythm of “The House That Jack Built.”
