Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-03 00:00:00 Lonnie Lloyd One rainy morning Mr. and Mrs. Submarine find themselves hosting an ever-growing assortment of wet creatures, from a shy coyote to the United States Marine Band. "I'm glad we bought four hundred and fifty pounds of muffin mix," Mrs Submarine said, and well might she be, with a cat, a dog, a horse, some crows, some chickens, a wildebeest, the aforementioned coyote and Marine band, a small European circus, and Mr. Ludwig von Beethoven to feed! As mentioned in my review of The Muffin Fiend , the muffin is a recurring theme in the Pinkwaters' work, and I was happy to see that Rainy Morning was no exception. But although I enjoyed this tale of an impromptu rainy morning gathering, somehow I didn't find it quite as hilarious as some of this author/illustrator team's other work. There were certainly moments that won a smile, but none that provoked the helpless giggling I have come to expect. That's the worst of being picture-book geniuses, I expect: solidly "good" books just seem to be a disappointment! Still, I'm glad to have read this, and thank my friend Lisa for recommending it - a good Pinkwater is nothing to sneeze at.
