I found this book to be well written and illistrated. The book had an excellent flow and even though I thought my 6- year-old son would not follow some of the tougher composed sentences, which included some unusual vocabulary, he really enjoyed it. It was fun to talk about the different superstitions or signs that some use to predict rain. The story sequence is great, too. Just when you think Lowell's family will not make, they show up as planned. A great message about dedication to family.

When Lowell's birthday dawns with a red sky, Lowell's siblings, Earl and 'retta Sue, take such delight in predicting foul weather and the cancellation of the birthday celebration. But in raucous tall tale tradition, Lowell imagines the many ways his far-flung relatives will find to get to the party. Rogers' exuberant art is the perfect accompaniment to this original tale that highlights weather lore based on scientific fact and begs to be read aloud in a down-home accent. Bravo!
