Crispin's Rainy Day

My kids just open the book and stare at the pictures! I enjoy them just as much, the incredible detail in every single one, is just fantastic. My toddler has the first pages memorized already! We love this book as a family and it has already been well loved and I hope it is for generations to come 🥰

Great art and a great story on our aging courage and getting along with your siblings, would highly recommend!

I bought this book for my youngest son and daughter! They loved it! My son enjoys reading it to himself (he just learned to read)! It is very well written and inspiring!

This book is an absolute gem. We've only had it in our home for about a week, but it has instantly become our favorite go-to storybook we read night after night. It's a mark of its quality that neither my children (nor I!) have gotten even the slightest bit sick of it after 20+ reads. My children are ages 4-8, boys and girls, and they all love it.

The art is simply stunning, with so many little details to look at on every page. Every single picture is like its own art piece I would want to hang on my wall, and each is so captivating and tells an entire story in and of itself.

The writing doesn't slouch, either. Every phrase and rhyme is carefully crafted and is a delight to read aloud, while moving the story forward at just the right pace. The story is neither too long nor too short. You might say it is the perfect pace and the perfect length. It's satisfying, but it doesn't overstay its welcome. I particularly love one spread of pages in which Forrest (the author and illustrator) uses the lightning sound effects on the page as part of the rhyme scheme with the narration. It's just simply *chef's kiss*

This book is an absolute classic that I plan on passing down to my grandchildren and hopefully their grandchildren. As Forrest Dickison's first complete work of his own (as both author and illustrator) I would say he simply smashed it right out of the park, and I can't wait to see what's next. Don't hesitate. BUY THIS BOOK!

Gave this to my son for his fifth birthday. Great story! Lots of teachable lessons in this one. Forrest’s artwork in here is top notch as well.

Fantastic

Great story with multiple layers of depth. Beautiful illustrations.

Beautiful illustrations, fun story, and good lessons. No explicit gospel presentation, but worth the purchase.
