Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-The author and illustrator of Mud (Harcourt, 1996) collaborate on another distinctive book, this time about a child enjoying a rainy day. There are favorite inside things to do, perhaps building blocks, reading, or playing cars or tea party. Outside play is even more exciting because of puddles and "Red boots. My boots. Red rubber made-for-rain boots." The richly textured acrylic illustrations fill the pages, offering a magnified view of the child's world. The figurative paintings bring playtime alive through color shadings and brushwork. The text is easy to read with short sentences and a simple serif typeface. Despite the plethora of rainy-day books such as Harriet Ziefert's Me Too! Me Too! (HarperCollins, 1988) or Karla Kuskin's James & the Rain (S & S, 1995), this is a welcome addition for any library. The combination of topic, well-designed layout, and appealing artwork make it a great choice whether read aloud or alone on a rainy day.

From Booklist

"I press my nose against the screen / and smell the smell of screen and rain." Ray brings to life the highlights of a small boy's rainy day told from the child's point of view. Indoors with his cat, the boy crayons, builds with blocks, plays with dishes and cars, reads, and pretends that the closet is a cave. Finally venturing out into his yard, he splashes around in the puddles with his red rubber boots. Although the ending is less satisfying than the wonderfully evocative first line quoted above, the book as a whole does a fine job of conjuring up a familiar childhood experience. The short text and appealing subject make this picture book accessible to young children. Stringer's acrylic paintings are as vivid as the text. The pictures bring a child's world up close as they evoke the sights and sensations of the day. The illustrations work smoothly with the text to make this a very effective picture book for reading aloud. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Fantastic!!, March 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Rubber Boot Day (Hardcover)
"Red Rubber Boot Day" is a feast of color and poetry. This was my daughter's favorite book as a 3-year-old, and it is regularly read and enjoyed by us both several years later. The pictures are exuberant, and the text really does make you smell the rain! I have never seen this book in a bookstore so it would make a most delightful and surprising gift for a book lover.

This review is from: Red Rubber Boot Day (Paperback)
This book was first introduced to me in a Children's Literature class and ever since I have loved it right along with my class and my own kids. The pictures are so welcoming and the text corresponds so well with the pictures. It is a great tool to help make text to real world connections. It is just fun to read it aloud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect 4 year old birthday gift, August 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Rubber Boot Day (Paperback)
I found this book when searching for a gift for the boy who has everything. I thought this along with a pair of red rubber boots would be perfect. It was a big hit. They are very high quality and seem like they could take a lot of wear. They arrived in plenty of time and in great condition.
