Two very different reactions to a rainy day

Set across a city on a rainy day, the book contrasts a child’s delight in puddles with an older man’s frustration at the weather. Their parallel responses give the story a clear focus on how people can experience the same ordinary moment differently. A possible meeting point between the two is hinted at in the description, alongside the boy’s frog hat, puddle-splashing, and a cookie. The cityscape is presented through vibrant cut-paper-style artwork, complementing this simple exploration of feelings and changing moods.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy stories about everyday experiences and feelings.
  • Families looking for a picture book centered on rain, puddles, and contrasting moods.
  • Readers interested in picture books featuring cut-paper-style illustrations.

Book overview

2014 Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award Winner *"Altogether delightful." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review One rainy day in the city, an eager little boy exclaims, "Rain!" Across town a grumpy man grumbles, "Rain." In this endearing book, now in board book format, 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?
