Rain!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christian Robinson. A grumpy elderly man resents the rain ("Dang puddle"); meanwhile, his young neighbor is overjoyed by it ("It's raining frogs and pollywogs!"). They both end up at a café, where the boy seizes an opportunity for friendship. This is a wholly fresh story told through short dialogue quips and paint and collage illustrations with remarkably expressive human faces.
