Rainstorm
by Barbara Lehman

This wordless book finds a lonely rich kid inside his fancy rich kid house. It's raining outside and he's sad, proving that being rich doesn't outweigh the weather. How do I know he's rich? He's wearing a tie and shorts around the house. And the suit of armor by the stairs.

Anyway, the rich kid finds a mysterious key which opens a trunk, which leads to another location. Where there are kids to befriend the rich kid.

Good wordless storytelling and nice pictures. Even kids who are not rich would probably like this book.
