Description

About the Book

From the author of "Babies on the Go" comes an intergenerational story of howa good attitude can chase away the blues at any age. Full color.

Book Synopsis

One rainy day in the city, an eager little boy exclaims, "Rain!" Across town a grumpy man grumbles, "Rain." In this endearing picture book, a rainy-day cityscape comes to life in vibrant, cut-paper-style artwork. The boy in his green frog hat splashes in puddles--"Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!"--while the old man curses the "dang puddles." Can the boy's natural exuberance (and perhaps a cookie) cheer up the grouchy gentleman and turn the day around?

Review Quotes

"Altogether delightful."
--Kirkus, starred review "Good and bad moods alike can be contagious, as this rainy-day story handily demonstrates."
--Publishers Weekly "This will be ideal to share in late winter when everyone is suffering from the winter blues and needs a reminder to make the most of the gloom and gray."
--School Library Journal "Two very different attitudes about the weather go head-to-head in Linda Ashman's buoyant Rain!"
--New York Times Book Review
