Book cover Mushroom in the Rain
Mirra Ginsburg (1974) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jose Aruego & Ariane Dewey
Audience: Preschool

When the rain begins, an ant finds shelter under a tiny mushroom. As the rain continues to pour harder and harder, a butterfly, a mouse, a sparrow and a rabbit all crowd under the tiny mushroom. Somehow, there is room for all the creatures under the mushroom's cap. Can you guess how they all fit? Read this classic children’s book and discover what truly happens to a mushroom in the rain. Aruego and Dewey’s bright, inviting illustrations add to the story’s overall charm.
