Book Description

It's raining outside, but all Max wants to do is play baseball. So his big sister Ruby struggles to get him into his rain gear: red boots, yellow slicker, and orange rain hat. But see what happens when Max is finally all dressed! Kids will love this fun board book that teaches colors and features shiny foil raindrops on the cover.

Good for toddlers.......2007-01-21

Another adorable story. Probably would not be very interesting to older children (over age 3) since it is a short, simple story about basic colors.

A Colorful Splash of Laughter!.......2004-07-15

My daughters - a preschooler and a toddler - gravitate to Max and Ruby like magnets. The board book Ruby's Rainy Day proved no exception. Shiny foil raindrops splash across the book cover. Lively rainbow colors brighten the ten sturdy pages inside. The story itself is an abridged version of a comical episode on TV's Nickelodeon. Little brother Max wants to go outside to play "Baseball!" Big sister Ruby insists they both don layer after layer of rain gear first. Your child can learn colors while laughing at the antics of these lovable rabbits.

My little boy loves it........2004-07-08

Maybe it's the sparkly raindrops, maybe it's the vibrant colors, or maybe it's the size... at 7 months of age it's hard to tell what it is my little boy loves about this book. One thing's for sure, he loves it! When he's old enough I expect the repetition in the dialogue will be a winner and the themes featuring color and sequence will keep him fascinated. Me, I love the little joke at the end and of course watching his delight in this book.

super duper! best $10 spent ever!.......2007-01-29

This $10 book is way underpriced. There are pages and pages of stuff in this book and has really inspired our two year nine month old to entertain herself for hours, coloring, cutting, making paper airplanes, paper dolls, etc. Really well thought out, well designed. High quality drawings (authentic Scarry, not his estate's). I am tempted to buy another one and have our child start over again. It's been three months but she still has about one third of activities left. HIGHLY recommended.

Wonderful but Abridged!.......2006-08-26

Though this activity book is just wonderful and full of great crafting and learning acitivities, it is an abridged version of the book we loved when we were kids. The book, organized around the 12 number-it-yourself calendar pages, includes seasonal connect the dots, a paper village to color and build, paperdolls, paper airplanes to fold, greeting cards, Valentines, and bookmarks. The Christmas activities are missing altogether.

History repeats itself!.......2006-01-19

Twenty-eight years ago I recieved this book for Christmas. On a whim I checked to see if it was still available and I was SO happy to find out it is! My daughter loves it as much as I did when I was a child!

A classic.......2005-09-30

I had to get this for my daughter even though she is not quite old enough - I remember really enjoying this book. Lots of fun things to do.

Kept us busy for days!.......2005-08-25

When my sister, brother and I were little, my parents bought us this book. I'm so glad to see it again! Not only did it keep us busy for hours, it kept us busy for DAYS! We kept going back to it; there was so much to do! Plus, it was great for our different age ranges - there were coloring pages for younger children, and lots of things to cut out and put together for children old enough to use scissors and glue (or tape). Best of all, even after we'd done everything, we were inspired to adapt the projects in our own way - such as, design and make our own paper airplanes or notecards based on the projects in the book. Definitely a must-have! Wonderful illustrations, too. The only thing I'd recommend is buying one for each child!

Book Description

Gaspard and Lisa, best friends, are stuck inside Lisa’s grandmother’s house one rainy afternoon with nothing to do. They try to bake a cake, until Grandma sees the mess they’ve made in the kitchen. Then, they start a game of tennis in the dining room, but Dad doesn’t like that idea at all. Turning the bedroom into a haunted house is not a big hit with Mom. Finally, Gaspard and Lisa decide to put a puzzle together. Hopefully, Grandma won’t mind if they cut up her rabbit-and-pheasant poster and put it back together again. . . .

Customer Reviews:

Doesn't have a good message........2007-02-08

I purchased this book for my daughter for Christmas. When we sat down to read the book together, we were disappointed. At the end of the book the two friends cut up a poster of their grandmother's, and try to piece it back together. In the end they lose a piece of the poster and try to fix it with a marker. Both of them are afraid they will get into trouble for this. (Which they should!) But none of the adults notice what has happened, and the two dogs go on and play outside. And the two dogs say they will fix the puzzle and no one will ever notice! My daughter said "That is not the right thing to do!" I was very disappointed and felt I had wasted my money.

Full of fun ideas!.......2006-08-20

I am an elementary teacher and I am not very creative. This is an excellent source of new and different ideas that can be used with stuents in 1st-6th. (you may be able to alter to use with lower or higer grades) Some of the projects require some specialized tools, but most use everyday items. Great purchase!

Art Fun by Kim Solga.......2001-05-29

This is a must have for any art teacher!! The ideas will send a child's imagination soaring. All activities are practical, loads of fun and economical. You'll find yourself saying "wow you can do that". I teach K-8 at a parochial school and will be using the ideas constantly.

Customer Reviews:

rainy days are everywhere.......2007-02-12

I bought this book because we were living in the caribbean where if we were stuck indoors, it was because of the rain, or hurricane season. I thought "ok, let's make this look like fun". In fact, it rains everywhere. The story is about a group of Blue's friends who have to stay indoors because of the weather (it could even be a snowstorm if you're in Alaska or Canada!)and find something to do as a fun activity.
It's an entertaining book as you hunt for clues page by page until you piece together all the clues to find your answer. I like Blue's---good idea for children.

Gift for granddaughter........2006-08-19

My graddaughter loves Blues Clues so I thought she would enjoy this book and she did, she has to have this book read to her everynight before she goes to bed.

Blue's Best Rainy Day.......2006-08-17

My niece likes Blue's Best Rainy Day the best out of all the books she has.

What To Do On A Rainy Day?.......2005-08-19

Blue has invited Magenta, Purple Kangaroo, Green Puppy, Yellow Kitten and Orange Kitten over for a play date. The only problems is that it's raining outside!

Blue then decides to set up a scavenger hunt *inside* the house and, with the help of Steve and her friends, they go about the house finding the items on the list.

There are socks, a box, buttons, fabric, glue, and yarn all over Blue's house. What does Blue want to do with all these items once they're found?

You and your youngster will find out when you read Blue's Best Rainy Day. Filled with colorful pictures, children have the ability to test their discrimination skills as they find the specific items on Blue's scavenger hunt list.

Not only that, children are shown that optimism and ingenuity can turn a potentially disappointing situation into an opportunity to use their imagination and have lots of fun...fun they may not have had if things turned out how they expected.

My son requests this book quite often and I'm sure other young readers will enjoy this delightful book as well.

Rainy Days.......2007-01-19

I purposely purchased this book for my mother whose name is the same as the author as a novely gift. It just so happens that my daughters have the same book and really enjoyed it.

Rainy Days and Saturdays.......2000-07-23

I loved the book because it gives me a lot of ideas to try out with my son. The ideas in the book are imaginative, creative and fun. Some of the activities are quite difficult but overall, its a fairly good compilation of activities to do with kids. Not only does it keep them busy, but they will learn something form some activities too. Sure beats just letting them watch TV.

Lots of fun activities.......2001-11-29

Each card in this deck has a different activity on it - some activities are quick and simple, some are longer and messier - each one is creative and fun. I got them to help me be more fun with my 4-year-old nice and it was great! We had a blast making paperbag puppets and necklaces out of bits of paper and dental floss. Many projects were for a bit more mature audience, but we had a great time with the things we picked. Another good thing about the activities - you don't have to buy lots of stuff to do them.
