"A rainy day dashes a young child' s plans, but with dad' s help delight can be found in playing indoors. . . . Rhyming text perfectly captures a young child' s desire for independence and control over choices . . . Full of warmth and love. . . . A perfect addition to the rainy-day bookshelf, where joy can be found indoors, knowing the sun will shine again. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "It starts out as a promising morning for a child, with a father-made breakfast of sunny-side up eggs . . . But when Daddy raises the shades, there' s no sunshine outside . . . Through a combination of her own ingenuity and parental nudging, the . . . child comes up with activities to make time pass . . . and an internal sunniness returns. " -- Publishers Weekly "Looking forward to playing outside . . . [a girl is] disappointed to find it' s raining and she' ll be stuck inside. . . . [She] uses her well-stocked imagination to create games to play by herself . . . The appealing soft-hued pastel illustrations incorporate a variety of patterns, and subtle details add even more interest . . . This beautiful rainy-day tale, told in a gentle rhyming text, may give youngsters ideas for their next housebound day. " -- Booklist
