This poetic read-aloud continues the tradition of the "Here-and-Now" school. Ray's buoyant text and Stringer's energetic acrylic paintings perfectly capture an up-close child's eye view of indoor and outdoor rainy-day play. The cover illustration exemplifies the explosive joy of puddle jumping in contrast to the "almost cover's" expression of contemplation and longing gazes out the window.
