(2) K-3 Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. In this tall tale, the people of Troekan love their village's constant rain. When the rain inexplicably stops, they seek advice from a wise man, a scientist, and a philosopher, to no avail. Two children finally come up with a solution. Sendak's black-and-white illustrations of a timeless eastern European village add to the folkloric flavor of his brother's text.
