    An older friend wished she could find this book again!
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021*

An older friend of mine was telling me about a children’s book she had years ago and how much she wished she still had it to share with her grandkids. She told me it had all these cute phrases and the way children might imagine them. She gave me an example of “frog in the throat”. I decided to look for that book and see if I couldn’t find it to give to her as a gift. I came across “The King Who Rained” on Amazon, ordered it, wrapped it, and gave it to her as a gift. Sure enough, this was the book she remembered!

    It's a cute homonym/homophone book, still relevant today.
  

*by F***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2021*

This book was a great visual aid for my 4th grader to help explain homonyms and homophones. It gave showed him the difference between spelling and definitions of words that sound the same. My 1st grader liked it because it seems so silly. The phrases in A Chocolate Moose for Dinner and The King Who Reigned feel relevant still. A Little Pigeon Toad and Sixteen Hand Horse have some older phrases that I don't remember hearing much as a kid, so feel pretty outdated to me now as an adult.

    Excellent Book for Fun & Teaching
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2002*

"The King Who Rained"" written & illustrated by Fred Gwynne, Aladdin Paperbacks, / Simon & Schuster 1970Homonym is the term for words which sound alike but mean different things.  Because of its historical roots in both the Germanic and Latin branches of the Indo-European language family, the English language is rich in homonyms.  Fred Gwynne, the noted TV actor, plays upon "reign", (from Latin/French roots, and meaning to rule), and the word "rain", from the Old Anglo-Saxon, and meaning  "water dropping from the heavens". His front cover shows a king in ermine robes contentedly raining on the countryside, while a young girl, with an umbrella, gazes up at the ruler.  This kind of thing continues through the book, making every page funny and interesting.The illustrations are colorfully done in what appears to be pastel chalks, and Fred Gwynne has probably included some autobiographical drawings as, for example,  the Daddy with the mole on his nose is easily recognizable as the TV actor. This book is nicely illustrated and will provide many hours of reading enjoyment and learning.Personally, I found that the child-reader has to be in the first or second grade, or at least fairly well exposed to the nuances of the English language, or else the play on words, using homonyms, will be lost.  The younger children appeared to be interested in the illustrations alone, which are stand-alone funny.
