    This was a great book to share on Valentine's Day with the nursery school class. We did the craft of raining hearts using red heart stickers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Reflected in a Not-Only-Valentine's Day Tale
    Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2004
    My six year old took the board book version of this book out of my hands. I meant to read it to my two year old son. Instead,
    my first grader was enthralled with the illustrations, the story and the name of the loveable protagonist "Cornelia Augusta".
    I especially enjoyed how ALL the rainbow hearts Cornelia Augusta catches are ALL different so she can craft personalized, different Valentine's for each recipient of one of her precious gifts.
    The story is also a very opening one: there are always ways to create... no matter what the medium, what the celebration, whether the people are together or apart.
    Also, I think the 3-5 year recommendation is a bit young. My 6 year old really enjoyed it as well, the language was perfect for a first grader.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Rainy Day Love.....
    Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2002
    Cornelia Augusta couldn't believe her eyes as this unusual downpour began. Instead of water falling from the sky, it was raining hearts. She caught bunches of them in her hands and slicker, and took them home. After examining her hearts carefully, Cornelia Augusta knew just what she wanted to do with each and every one of them.... Felicia Bond has brought back her 1983 picture book, originally titled, Four Valentines In A Rainstorm, and it's as sweet and charming today as it was almost twenty years ago. Her simple and gentle text is kept to a minimum. The actual story is told through her engaging, bright and expressive artwork, as Cornelius Augusta plans and constructs the perfect Valentine for each of four special friends. Preschoolers will enjoy watching her create each unique card, and guessing as to who will be receiving it. With a Valentine sticker page at the end to help your little ones get started on their own special Valentine cards, The Day It Rained Hearts is an endearing holiday book that shouldn't be missed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story about sending valentines

    We love, "The Day it Rained Hearts." Discovered it at the library 3 years ago, and finally bought it this year when we were late to checking out Valentine's books, we love it that much! I like to read the story, and then talk about why she made each valentine for that specific friend. We then make Valentines together. I'll ask my daughter who she wants to send a valentine to, and then make a card for that person in mind, just like in the book. Each year she looks forward to making Valentines to send to others and reading this story.
