Where do they go when it rains? 🌦️🦆

This is a favourite book of ours by Gerda Muller, sharing the lovely story of how different animals take shelter when rain comes. Detailed illustrations encourage observation and discussion about nature and the changing weather.

Children may like to build their own scenes using wooden animals, toys, found objects and more within their play space, following along with the story and matching animals from the pages.

Perhaps this story will become your next rainy day favourite!
