(4) PS Illustrated by Helen Craig. One Saturday, the rain washes out the color blue from the sky, which in turn tints Bonnie Bumble's farm and animals. Bonnie's solution? She grabs a brush and some paint and restores the natural hues, and the corny denouement occurs when Bonnie's dog appears covered with multicolored paint. Preschoolers will be amused by this slight tale and by Craig's cartoony illustrations, both of which verge on the precious.
