When Josh is given a bright yellow raincoat and hat and a pair of shiny rubber boots, he's ready to go for a walk in the rain with his grandmother. Together they splash through puddles, explore nearby woods, count sprouting mushrooms, and learn where the birds go when it rains. And when they get home, they discover that while it's fun to walk in the rain, there are special things to do inside on a stormy day as well.
Ulises Wensell's watercolor illustrations capture the dreamy feeling of a gentle shower and make this story perfect for rainy-day reading.

Reviews
A Walk in the Rain
Reviewed by Sherry Early
Josh appears to be four or five years old in this simple story, and his grandmother is grey-haired but healthy enough to walk on logs and pretend to be a tightrope walker with Josh walking ahead. The narrative simply details the various things that Josh and his grandmother see and do as they walk in the (gentle) rain: a ladybug, birds sheltering from the rain, leaves collected near a drain in the street, the logs in the forest, mushrooms sprouting.
