Rain on the Sandbox

Bryony Fallowfield

A worm needs dry ground, a boat needs a puddle sea, and somebody needs to jump in every puddle before the cookies come out. Bryony Fallowfield's six linked stories follow one rainy afternoon in a small backyard world where ordinary things turn into small adventures. Best for ages 3 to 6 who like slow, cozy days and talking animals. Nell Pockett reads with a gentle, patient voice, pausing for splashes and worm worries so listeners can breathe and picture each scene.
