Scholastic Baby Book Club: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rain, Rain, go away,

Come again another day!

Beloved children's author Caroline Jayne Church illustrates a favourite preschool song, "Rain, Rain, Go Away!" in this month's baby board book from Scholastic Canada! Adorable toddlers and stuffed animals are drawn in Church's signature style. This full-foil treasure is attractive for babies to hold and delightful to sing and share, rain or shine!

momstown Victoria Scholastic Baby Book Club: Alligator Baby by Robert Munsch

Kristen's mom and dad got lost on the way to the hospital and ended up at the zoo! They bring home a baby that is not Kristen's baby brother. After a few more baby mix-ups, Kristen decides to go to the zoo herself and find her real baby brother to bring home.

"Alligator Baby" by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko is a hilarious board book that my own toddler, preschooler and school-age kid all love. Congratulations to this month's lucky winners, Melissa & Oliver, who won our Scholastic Baby Book of the month at our Baby Basics: Sharing Circle at Medicine Moves Dance Studio.
