Book Description
"Rain Makes Applesauce" Words by Julian Scheer, Picture by Marvin Bileck The stars are made of lemon juice... ...and rain makes applesauce. Elbows grow on a tickle tree... ...and rain makes applesauce. Oh, you're just talking silly talk. This is a book of silly talk. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. And yet it is an extraordinary creation, in which author and artist speak to children in a very special way. The fanciful nonsense and marvelously intricate pictures are full of sly subtleties and happy surprises for both eye and ear. It is a book of absurd delights, of tiny, fey graphic details, of captivating scenes and lyrical phrases that stretch the imagination. Children will return to it again and again for new meanings, new images, new responses.

And This Book Makes Great Joy - Forever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rain Makes Applesauce (School & Library Binding)
Oh JOY! Indeed what an absolute joy to type in the title 'Rain Makes Applesauce', and find out that this glorious book is in print again!I've read every other Amazon Customer Review of this book, & I agree with every single person: this is a Must-Have book for children AND adults. I have not seen it since my 4 years in college where I spent 4 years purchasing copies & either giving them as presents to my friends, or simply never getting them back when loaned. Hence when other reviewers right here tell you such things as 'my children had to take it out every other week from the library for YEARS because they adored it so much' - & that another actually went on to become an artist because of 'Rain' - & that Christmas simply STOPPED for yet another family while 2 excited daughters, now adult, put everything else aside until they'd re-read 'Rain' from end to end: BELIEVE THEM! 'Rain Makes Applesauce' is an infinitely memorable book with exquisite illustrations. It speaks to all whose hearts are young. Here is that rare, one-in-a million book suffused with an ineffable joy & replete with that exquisite silliness found only in the observations of those gifted with Innocence no matter what their chronological age. Children fall in love with this book the moment it begins. Adults do, too. Even if you don't have children: buy it for yourself. Or find a family to give it to, for the that singular pleasure found only in hearing the unstudied laughter of children welling up unstoppably and spilling out like - Yes! - like the most delicious of rains.

Great rhymes and fantastical illustrations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rain Makes Applesauce (School & Library Binding)
This was one of my absolute favorite books as a child. I used to make my mother check it out of the library again and again. I was fascinated by the elaborate drawings, but the rhymes of the book are also very memorable. I even received a copy as a adult when it came back into print! Now I will share it with my niece who is about the age that I was when I first read the book!

Rain Makes Applesauce,
By Anna Hahn (f) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rain Makes Applesauce (School & Library Binding)
This is a charming book for children to read. Its silly phrases and fantastic illustrations will keep children entertained for countless readings.It is a childhood favorite of mine, one I have shared with numerous students. "Oh you're just talking silly talk," was a favorite saying from my childhood. Once I read this book to my students, they used the phrase too. I'm thrilled to see this book in print again!
