Weather affects all of our daily activities. We might hit the beach, visit an amusement park, or head to the park when it's nice and sunny. On snow days, children often build snowmen, sledding, or engage in an epic snowball fight. It's typical for people to plan or schedule their day based on the meteorologist's forecast. But what happens when the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse? That's precisely what happened in this storybook.
Ritter and Coco have their whole day planned out: play at the park and enjoy goodies from their picnic basket. However, their plans went up in smoke when an unexpected storm rolled in. They were rightfully disappointed. They didn't understand why it was storming when the forecast signaled clear skies. As your child reads or listens to the story, they might question how or why the weather changes so quickly. Depending on your child's age, they might ask what "forecasted" means. Take this an opportunity to expand your child's vocabulary!
Coco and Ritter were visibly upset by the sudden storm with due reason. Instead of crying, sulking, or becoming angry, the duo took this as an opportunity to have fun indoors. I loved how they took a negative and made it a positive. I loved how they both contributed ideas to the things to do now and things to do later list.
Ritter and Coco could've allowed their feelings to match the weather outside. They could've let the darkened skies and pouring rain ruin their day. But they didn't! The friends' attitude made them great role models for young readers!
I recommend Ritter and Coco's Rainy Day to children six years and under. It presents a positive message and encourages children to look on the bright side of life! Plus, the illustrations are fantastic, too!
I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, BlueSky, and Goodreads. Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
