Nicky and the Rainy Day

(4) K-3 One rainy day, Nicky the rabbit suggests that his family go someplace more beautiful, such as the mountains or the South Pole. For each idea, Mother says, "That's impossible!" and Nicky's siblings fret about potential dangers. When the rain stops, they notice a rainbow and discover that home is beautiful, too. Ultimately the premise falls flat, but the lively illustrations are cheerful and imaginative.
