This brief but lovely board book is about one young boy's enjoyment of a rainy day in his neighborhood. Dressed all in a yellow slicker and boots, the beautiful watercolor illustrations depict an African-American boy as he splashes through puddles before shedding his boots to experience puddles with his bare feet. With two to five simple words of text per page in large font, this book is geared for pre-schoolers from ages one to three. It is a welcome addition to the board book collection of any library looking to represent a culturally diverse audience. ( )
