Scientifically, it is unconceivable, but 4- to 8-year-old children do not have to understand the facts of science. It deals with the relationship of humans with water, plants and animals. I particularly enjoyed one line where the author rhymes "fat" and "Ki-pat": "So the grass grew green/ And the cattle fat!/ And Ki-pat got a wife/ And a little Ki-pat-." This story is suitable for young children because its tone is happy. The rhymes and rhythms are so strong that all young children will be wide eyed with suspense and interest until the very end of the story. This is a memorable story it is very simple to understand and has a powerful musical quality that, as a young adult, I enjoy reading aloud. The narrative structure of the story is based on a sequence of events that builds suspense and interest in children until the end of the story. This is a simple story about a cattle herdsman and his wish for rain on the African plain. I have enjoyed it so much that I am planning to give it as a gift to my sister who has two young children, ages 4 and 7. I really love the book "Bringing The Rain to Kapiti Plain," by Verna Aardema.
