Caldecott Honor artist and bestselling author David Shannon's
brings us a charming and amusingly illustrated picture book
FORMAT: Paperback book & CD
NARRATOR: Bruce Bailey Johnson
Once upon a sunny day, the sky clouded over and the rain came down.
The chicken squawked, the baby cried, the traffic snarled, the
groceries fell, the people bickered, and still, the rain came
down.
In pictures full of wit and good-natured humor, Caldecott Honor
artist, David Shannon, captures the chaos that follows an
unexpected downpour. Rain or shine, here is an engaging story that
will brighten the day of all readers.
Some of England's grandest country houses are to be found in this
prosperous rural county. The Elizabethan Renaissance Kirby Hall,
the Jacobean mansion at Apethorpe, the late 17th-century
French-inspired Boughton, Hawksmoor's stately Baroque Easton
Neston, and the interiors of Althorp provide a fascinating survey
of changing taste through the centuries. Complementing them are
smaller buildings of great character, supreme among them those of
Sir Thomas Tresham: the eccentric and ingenious Triangular Lodge at
Rushton and the evocative New Beild at Lyveden. Of no less interest
are the fine churches, from Anglo-Saxon Brixworth to the noble
Gothic of Warmington, Rushden and Finedon and from All Saints,
Northampton, one of the grandest 17th-century churches outside
London, to Comper's St. Mary's, Wellingborough. Chief among the
towns, Northampton has not only distinguished Victorian and
Edwardian public, commercial and industrial buildings but also the
principal work in England by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
