From Booklist
Ages 4^-8. "Red skies mean rain." Weather proverbs are at the center of this family farce about a boy's birthday in the Ozarks. Lowell just can't wait for his birthday, but when it finally comes, all the signs point to rain. His sneering older sister and brother are sure that there will be "cat and dog downpours" with waves of mud and that the birthday party will be called off, but Lowell knows that his relatives will get there. The storm does come, and all his grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles make it through the downpour on an ark made of logs and barrels and vines. The folksiness is a bit overdone, but Rogers' brightly detailed double-page spreads pick up the cheerful uproar of the words: the birthday preparations in the warm, messy house; the signs of the gathering storm; and the crowd of farm animals and splashing relatives. Much of the weather folklore is scientifically based (there's a list of proverbs at the end), and teachers might like to use this comedy to spark a nature unit. Hazel Rochman
From Kirkus Reviews
Old proverbs foretelling rain figure prominently in this tale of a little boy's birthday hopes. Lowell has been scratching the days off his calendar all year in anticipation of his birthday: As he sees it, the family will flock, music will flow, and it will be a proper celebratory hoedown. When a red sky in the morning suggests that all may not go as planned, Lowell's mother is cautious when he brings her word of the glorious dawn. Nor does his father like those low-flying geese, nor granny the flapping oak leaves. But Lowell trusts his Ozark Mountain cousins to make it, his hopes soaring then dimming when each passing sign is interpreted. This is a big-hearted, can-do tale full of good cheer and trusty kinfolk, and the story is given an added verve through Rogers's fine, place-summoning watercolors. In her debut, Hershenhorn includes a list of rain-related proverbs at the end of the book, many of which are right as rain. (Picture book. 6-10) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.

When Lowell's birthday dawns with a red sky, Lowell's siblings, Earl and 'retta Sue, take such delight in predicting foul weather and the cancellation of the birthday celebration. But in raucous tall tale tradition, Lowell imagines the many ways his far-flung relatives will find to get to the party. Rogers' exuberant art is the perfect accompaniment to this original tale that highlights weather lore based on scientific fact and begs to be read aloud in a down-home accent. Bravo!

my son loved this book
16. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I found this book to be well written and illistrated. The book had an excellent flow and even though I thought my 6- year-old son would not follow some of the tougher composed sentences, which included some unusual vocabulary, he really enjoyed it. It was fun to talk about the different superstitions or signs that some use to predict rain. The story sequence is great, too. Just when you think Lowell's family will not make, they show up as planned. A great message about dedication to family.
Get ready for a wild ride!
