Daughter, Kate Feiffer, and father, Jules Feiffer team up in this new picture book based on a real event that took place in Martha's Vineyard when the author was "eight or nine or ten". On the a trip to the zoo father points out the large amount of rain yet on her side of the car, the daughter claims there is no rain. They continue on to their destination, daughter still insisting it is sunny on her side. Daughter must finally admit that maybe it is raining...a little. I think some younger kids will have trouble understanding what is really going on in the story while the older kids will get a good laugh from the exchange between the father and daughter.
Story: 4 Buckeye Leaves (I like the fact it was based on a real event in their life.)
Illustrations: 3 Buckeye leaves
