Rating: Summary: Eight stories designed for bedtime reading Review: Eight stories designed for bedtime reading or relaxing newly independent readers will find appeal in a wide age range. From a flying pie to elves on shelves, A Necklace Of Raindrops And Other Stories is packed with whimsical scenarios and fun moments.
Rating: Summary: Fanciful Stories Review: I am thrilled to see this book back in print after so many years. I read it when I was a kid and even after 3 decades I still remember the story of the girl who gets a magic necklace of raindrops and the story of the cat and his wishing mat made out of a gray dress. The new illustrations are nice and I like the fact that it is in hardback, because it will last longer.
Rating: Summary: A Necklace of Raindrops Review: I happened upon this book once when I was in grade school. It made such an impression on me that I have searched for it ever since. It was a wonderful journey of exciting adventures. Making me feel like I had left my life behind and embarked on an incredible expedition. The fun and adventurous stories take the reader around the world. Fun and suspense are around every corner.

Rating: Summary: A well written book that I will read again and again Review: I liked this book because it was entertaining and it has got very discriptive words. I think it is definitely worth reading and should be given an award!
Rating: Summary: Rediscovering an old friend Review: My copy was inscribed to me when I was six, in between Dr. Seuss and the Phantom Tollbooth. Looking at it again now, I marvel that it was only eight stories. Bits of them have stuck in my mind ever since: the necklace of raindrops, each with a special power, the girl who had to be washed with her dress on and hung out on the line to dry so it wouldn't shrink past her, the train station in the desert, the cat who ate the yeast, the quilt and the camels and the traffic lights from Beirut. Get a copy and wear it out, then read Joan Aiken's other marvelous books.
Rating: Summary: Necklace of Raindrops Review: This is a lovely book of fanciful and imaginative short stories for children. It is a shame it has been out of print for so long. I read it as a child and I now read to my child. It is a rare book that can hold it's own against time and repeated readings, but this one does.
