Ruby's Rainy Day

Max and Ruby

by Rosemary Wells

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 raindrops on the cover.

Max and Ruby get dressed in their rain gear.

This board book teaches basic colors.

It's a simple little book intended to teach colors, but the last page is a surprise that anyone who has spent time with kids will appreciate. It also always makes the kids smile.

My 11-mo-old son can never get through this book. I think it's kinda tedious too.
