A young girl describes her activities on a rainy day.
Quick Summary
There's something really sweet about how this little story captures the magic of a rainy day through a kid's eyes. A young girl walks through her favorite things to do when it's pouring outside, from splashing in puddles to cozying up inside, and it feels like something any child who's ever been stuck indoors wishing they could play outside will instantly recognize. At just 137 words, it moves at a pace that works beautifully for emerging readers or as a quick read-aloud, and the simple, relatable premise makes it perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who are building confidence with short books. Parents will appreciate that it celebrates imagination and simple pleasures without being preachy, and the AR Level of 1.4 means the vocabulary is accessible without feeling babyish. If your kid loves books about everyday adventures, they'd probably also like "The Rain" by Donald Crews, which has that same satisfying blend of weather-themed fun and easy-to-read text.
