Miss Bindergarten and the Very Wet Day

Illustrated by Ashley Wolff
Look inside
Today is a very wet day. Miss Bindergarten's class stays inside while the rain falls hard outside. Finally, the rain stops and the class goes outside to play. It's not long before Matty and Patty slip and fall in a puddle! Miss B. and Coco are there to help, and when the girls get up, a huge rainbow has formed in the sky!
Joseph Slate, a native West Virginian, has always loved to paint and write. Mr. Slate is professor of art emeritus at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he taught for 30 years. He now lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his wife, Patty. A Marine Air Corps veteran, he and his wife have set foot on all seven continents and traveled in 39 countries. They have lived in both Japan and Italy. View titles by Joseph Slate
