What an absolutely beautiful and fun, quick adventure book about imagination, problem-solving & Weeples!?

So Much fun! Loved it!

I am not sure if this was the formatting of the book on Kindle, but this book did not make any sense. I was interested in learning about the small creatures, but unfortunately was confused about the plot.

This is a sweet little book. The child in the story goes on an imaginary adventure to get out of the rain. The illustrations are wonderful. Reading this book aloud could also be a starting point, followed by activities to do on a rainy day. Recommended!

Thank you, Netgalley, Josh Banday, and North Star Editions for the ebook! What a great children's book! My daughter loved this and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Imaginative and funny and great illustrations!

This wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. I found that the artwork and the story were just meh. Some of the plot was actually confusing, and the idea just felt like it wasn't well developed at all. I wanted to like it. The story had such great potential, but it felt rushed in so many ways. If there had been another 5-10 pages, then maybe it would have felt more satisfying as a picture book. As it stands, I don't know if this would really be good for read aloud time.

Not really something I would recommend unfortunately.

Oh this book just melted my heart! I was just so taken back. It was beautiful. I loved it! Such a sweet story.

What a seemingly whimsical tale of a kid who hates the rain but jumps into his imaginary world and learns so much through it. Loved the illustrations and everything that happened in his world, as well as the ending!

I had high hopes for this book, that it's be a cute addition to our children's department and it would be able to be used in story time. Honestly, it just kind of feel flat for me. I was following along just fine and then the Weeples were introduced. It's a concept that I don't know a lot of kids are going to be able to follow without a parent or caregiver explicitly explaining it. And you shouldn't have to explain a picture book in order for it to be understood. I think there's much better options out there for potential coping mechanisms when you're upset about something. To me this feels like it's a book that got published because it was written by a celebrity and not necessarily because it was a great book that children would want to read. I think the illustrations were wonderfully done but overall the execution of the story was not that great.

Thank you NetGalley, Jolly Fish Press, and Josh Banday for the early access copy of Rain, Rain.

Rain, Rain tells the story of a young child who, on a rainy day, wants nothing more than to enjoy the rain cozy at home with a book. But, when their mom needs the two of them to run errands, the child is not happy. The rain is wet, hitting their face, and cold. That is until they go on an adventure in their raincoat.

With engaging illustrations, an entertaining story, and so many weeples, kids will get excited to hear this rainy day story.

I thought that this was a good story!

It had a quirky storyline about a boys imagination after he doesn't really want to go outside in the rain. The story was well written and it had a great flow to it. It was easy to follow and understand.

I read the book with my 7 year old daughter and it certainly made her smile - she loves drinking hot chocolate and eating cheese so the book was a big hit with her and she liked the Weeples too

It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book abouts imagination of the one boy who didn't like to be outdoors on the rainy day. With his imaginate friends, he enjoyed drinking hot chocolate and eating cheese. But in his imaginate world, there were problems a lot of Weeples. In the end, the problems were solved so he could get some fun in the shining sunshine again.

Great book about using your imagination and problem-solving.

The boy and his imaginary friends had to problem solve how to get the weeples to go away.

Love the illustrations!

Not everybody loves the rain but yes for the ones who loves rainy days, the book is perfect!

The illustrations are vibrant and visually appealing! The writing is fun and yes, the characters in this book can be imaginary too!

Such a fun book!
