excerpt:
Malcolm was excited to build great big sandcastles all day long outside in his sandbox, but Mother Nature had a different plan. The sunny day quickly turned into an unexpected rainstorm. At first, Malcolm was upset, sulking, yelling, and scowling, but it didn�t take long for Malcolm to shift his fit of anger into a brilliant idea. Malcolm decided he was going to put on his rain gear and have some fun! �He splashed around the steps. He splashed around the yard. He splashed around the dog. And then he jumped in puddles.� While he�s rolling around in the mud, worms wiggle their way into Malcolm�s boots, hair, and coat and then�the tickles start, �He ran right through the mud. He ran right through the sand. He ran right through the house. And then got in trouble.� It was time for Malcolm to clean up his muddy mess, starting with himself. Malcolm put himself in the bath tub and created a whole new rainstorm of his own. This is a fun story with bold illustrations that will capture children�s attention. Author Paige Feurer is a child psychologist and former teacher, and And Then It Rained on Malcolm is her first children�s book. Illustrator Rich Farr is a professional illustrator and graphic designer with over fifteen years experience. Highly Recommended.
Kaitlyn Vecchio is a children�s librarian at the Prince George Public Library in Prince George, BC.
