From Booklist
Gr. 1. In this Green Light Reader, two African American children find things to do no matter what the weather. The vocabulary is fairly basic (fly, throw, busy), and Crews uses lots of repetition to give new readers practice as well as a sense of success. He also adds a few nice touches to the pictures: gray silhouettes of family members look out on a stormy day; silhouettes bathed in yellow at the same window welcome a sun that heralds activities outdoors.

Review
The clear simple graphics in this book should help a lap child develop an awareness of weather. The text is a single declarative sentence per page suitable for beginning readers. All the faces, but one, seem Afro-American, a non-mix that seems questionable. (Children's Literature )
