Every time my 21 month old grandson and 8 year old granddaughter stay overnight…I make sure that I sit down with them at bedtime and we read 2-3 books together. My grandson typically falls asleep during book #2 and then my granddaughter takes over reading.
Oogie’s Raindy Day Adventure is an fantastic book that is beautifully written (by Michael Weinberger) and has the cutest illustrations (by Steve Bonham). The story is written in a way that young children will understand it’s meaning and they’ll learn the message that the author is trying to convey. It’s a fairly easy read and is one of those books that your children will repeatedly ask to read (or you to read to them). It’s a great addition to my grandchildren’s library.

I like a children’s book with a good story line and beautiful illustrations like this one. I am trying to expand my grandchildren’s library and this would be a good addition .
I like this book too and kids can really relate the dilemma, since most have run out of their fave food at some time. I always thought today’s kids would have problems with stick-to-it-tiveness, since we live in such an immediate gratification society. I know I’ve seen my share of temper tantrums in the stores and parents could really use a book like this to drive the point home.
What a Sweet Children’s Book.. It really has a Good story line. One that will keep the Child’s attention . The illustrations in the Book are so colorful.. I know my Great Grandchildren would love this Book.. Thank you for sharing..
