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? AGES: 4-8 AUTHOR: Linda Ashman is the author of twenty-three acclaimed children's books. Visit her website at Christian Robinson is a freelance artist.
