Well it's very wet here in Sydney and we are all sick of wet weather duty and being inside. Yesterday I put a collection of books out on display for my Kindergarten and Year 1 library classes. They all featured floods and rain. I was very surprised to see most of them were borrowed! Some of them were old favourites that haven't left the library for a long time. Even The Useless Donkeys by Lydia Pender, and Running Away From Home by Nigel Gary which I love were borrowed. If you are looking for books on floods in your library, look for these.

I have just looked to see if I have written about floods before and of course I have, here.
As usual a timely and generous post. I adore Elmer and the Flood - perfect to read to the youngest children.
