Even when itâs pouring rain, Malcolm canât bring himself to stay inside. He puts on his red boots and his red coat, pulls on his goggles, and heads out for an adventure. He splashes around the yard, jumps in puddles, and gets tickled by worms. But when Malcolmâs done playing he runs right through the mud and right through the sandâand right through the house! Momâs not impressed. How is this silly boy going to fix his mess?
Rich Farrâs energetic illustrations add the perfect touch of whimsy to Paige Feurerâs simple yet lively text. And Then It Rained on Malcolm is the perfect read-aloud book for even the squirmiest kids and is sure to get everyone giggling over Malcolmâs silly antics and his clever thinking. Enthusiastic lovers of Malcolmâs adventure might plead for permission to go outside the next time it rainsâand even if they race through the house with muddy boots and dripping raincoats afterwards theyâll know how to clean up the mess!
