On a rainy day, a young painter enjoys the vibrant colors suggested by several familiar nursery rhymes: "This yellow teapot's short and stout. / She is the best at pouring out." Nicely capturing both action and hue, Jay's familiar crackle-varnished illustrations also include the painter as onlooker. Throughout, page spreads incorporate details from preceding and succeeding rhymes, creating a smooth visual flow.
