Grab a raincoat, pull on some boots, and head out the door for a
joyful celebration of splish-sploshing in puddles. Squelch!
Clouds gather,
skies darken,
rain falls,
puddles appear.
Yippee! Here comes the rain! Three families meet up in front of their
high-rise apartment building, all with the same idea. The children can't
wait to stimp-stamp-stomp through the muddy puddles until their boots
overflow--then snuggle with the grown-ups on the couch as their soggy
socks dry. Emma Perry's buoyant text summons the thrill of being
outdoors regardless of the weather, while Claire Alexander's lively
watercolors capture the children's exuberant play amid the splashing
drops.
