Let's have fun in the rain with springtime games, crafts, and rainy day books.
It's raining. It's pouring. The old man might be snoring, but you're not. You're BORED. Tired of being in the house with nothing to do. There's no Cat in the Hat to get things going, but if you've got your galoshes and your rain coat (and a willing grownup) there's something you can do after the rain—puddle-jumping!
Run through the puddles very fast. Or, jump in big puddles as hard as you can. Play follow the leader and have a blast.
Imagine receiving an invitation to a soiree at the home of Gertrude Stein--number 27 Rue de Fleurus in Paris. If you read Paris in the Spring with Picasso, by Joan Yolleck, you will feel as if you have. This is an imaginary tale written by the author after a trip to the library where she passed the time reading about Stein. She created a story about famous artists and authors as they prepare for an evening's festivities. The young reader is introduced to such characters as Pablo Picasso and Alice B. Toklas.
