THE RAINY DAY BOOK

by Alvin Schwartz ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Alvin Schwartz (How to Fly a Kite, Catch a Fish, Grow a Flower. A Parent's Guide to Children's Play and Recreation, etc.) keeps the family singing in the rain with a host of activities chosen for accessibility and fun. They also tend to be unmessy. There are momentary diversions such as blow ball and bottlecap boats, more enduring pastimes such as making costumes or performing scientific experiments (at a basic level). There are explorations into nostalgia-entertainments (riddles, tonguetwisters), communications (diaries, letters), and words and books (listed by age). There is the pursuit of hobbies (collecting, cooking, indoor gardening). The child alone or in company (singing, games), at varying stages is taken care of by Mr. Schwartz' recommendations, all of which seem very practicable.
