The rain begins and sends a chain reaction of negative events through the community. Everything is turned upside down including the arguing of the beauty parlor owner, the barber, and the painter. When the sun breaks through the clouds, it works like magic to stop the fussing. This is a great book to teach cause and effect...when the rain stops all the people start being nice to each other. It would also be interesting to talk about stereotypes and look into the community people and ask why the grocer is Asian and so on.
