Overview
Learning to get dressed is a part of every toddler's early education. This delightful interactive book transforms a rainy day into a fun day! The story's little boy begins by putting on his trousers and buckling his belt. Next, he puts on his sweater and buttons it up. But he can't go outside until he puts on his raincoat, zips it up, then puts on his rain hat and ties it beneath his chin. Finally, with umbrella and boots, he's ready to go out and splash cheerfully in the puddles. Children who open this book will find related activities attached to the illustrations--a Velcro belt to fasten, a zipper that zips up, buttons to fasten, and a hat with straps to tie. Boys and girls will have fun as they develop manual dexterity and gain a sense of achievement. Color illustrations with interactive features appear on every two-page spread.

Kirkus Reviews
A sturdy little boy prepares to go out in the rain and exhorts readers to help: "I put on my favorite blue pants. Can you help me with the belt?" The child raises his hands exuberantly against his bedroom backdrop, his Velcro belt inviting little fingers to skrritchhh it open and shut. Successive spreads present them with a sweater to button, a zipper to zip and a hat to tie on before he springs, completely dressed, from the center of the concluding spread, ready to "[s]plish, splash" in foil puddles. Each interactive element is unusually sturdy for a touch-and-feel book and sized appropriately for little fingers not yet fully equipped with fine-motor skills. Church's child-friendly illustrations are just right for this cheery outing. (Pop-up/picture book. 1-3)Book Details
