Even though it is a rainy day, Max wants to play baseball. His older, all-knowing sister says no and helps him get dressed for the rain. They put on their boots, rain slickers, hats, and then Ruby puts up her big purple umbrella. Most adults will guess what has happened when they get out the door, but Max is happy because the sun is shining and now they can play baseball. Ruby just looks perplexed wondering where all the rain has gone. It is a cute story with loveable characters and plenty of color. The added fun for parents and caregivers will be to get the kids to describe the colors of the boot, slickers, hats and umbrella. 2004, Grosset & Dunlap, Ages 1 to 3.
