Summary: SMILING ANIMALS BRIGHTEN A RAINY DAY
Comment: Those who enjoyed the popular "Where Is The Apple Pie?" will be delighted with the author/illustrator's latest - an entertaining counting book based on the repartee between Goat and Pig.
It seems that when Pig went to the meadow to gather a bouquet a sudden summer shower arose. Without an umbrella Pig headed for the shelter of the nearest tree where he was joined by one small, very fast mouse. Soon two porcupines joined them, and were followed by three buffaloes.
It was getting to be a pretty tight squeeze under that tree, and it was going to be tighter. Poor Pig was soon squeezed out and came home dripping wet.
Gorbachev's smiling animals bring out the sunshine on this rainy day.

Summary: A Joyous, Expressive Animal Counting Book.....
Comment: Goat, sitting on the porch of his home looks up to see a very wet and bedraggled pig approaching the house. "What happened to you friend pig? I can see you're wet. Let me guess. You went to the meadow to get some flowers and you were caught in the rain. Is that right?" And so begins Pig's fantastic tale of a sudden rainstorm, lots and lots of animals, and a very large old tree. As Pig tells it, he took cover under the tree to stay dry. Suddenly a fast little mouse joined him, then two porcupines, three water buffaloes, four leopards, five lions, six gorillas, seven crocodiles, eight hippopotamuses, nine rhinoceroses, and finally ten elephants..... Valeri Gorbachev's simple, witty text is entertaining, full of energy, and begs to be read aloud. But it's his charming, clever illustrations, culminating in a four page, fold-out spread of everyone together under the large spreading tree that really makes this picture book stand out and sparkle. Each pen and ink, watercolored page is filled with joyous characters, expressive, eye-catching detail and lots of humor. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, One Rainy Day is a unique and engaging counting book, complete with a funny, silly story line and a cute twist at the end, that shouldn't be missed. And how, you ask, did Pig get so very wet? "...I was in such a hurry to get home to tell you about what happened to me on this rainy day that I didn't miss a single puddle!"
