...this is a tale both about the weather and about weathering disappointment. The joyful puddle-jumping "FWOOSH!" that ends the book should have preschoolers looking forward to rainy days.

There's a lovely subtle message in the narrative - when distractions (in one scene the father puts away his laptop) are removed, we can experience the simple joys of being with loved ones... The spare narration dominated by onomatopoeia makes for a compelling read-aloud... A sonically rich story that captures the simple joys of rainy days at home.
