Review
This story about a rainy day is told with simplicity and has lovely illustrations making it a good choice for very young children. A small boy is seen longingly looking out the window, hoping to go out. Granddad is caring for the boy and tells him time after time it is time to stay indoors. The boy longs to catch raindrops, splash in puddles, and look at everything upside down (reflections in puddles). Illustrations do a good job of showing the street as the water gets deeper and deeper. Finally Granddad takes the boy out. The book supports children's use of imagination and shows the bond of close family relationships nicely.
Overall Book Score: good
