Pitter and Patter

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cathy Morrison. Two raindrops, Pitter and Patter, introduce the hydrologic cycle as they fall and greet successive animals, vegetation, and minerals above and below ground. They finally unite in the ocean and evaporate together. Colorful illustrations with slightly anthropomorphic animals fill each spread; the intact raindrops remain improbably but helpfully visible. Back matter explains and suggests projects for children and teachers. Reading list.
