One rainy day in the city, an eager little boy exclaims, "Rain!" Across town an irritable man grumbles, "Rain." The boy in his green frog hat splashes in puddles—"Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!"—while the old man curses the "dang puddles." Can the boy's natural exuberance (and perhaps a cookie) cheer up the grouchy gentleman and turn the day around? The rainy-day cityscape comes to life with vibrant cut-paper artwork.
