Dark Cloud Strong Breeze

A little girl whose hapless father has locked his keys in the car. As he struggles with a wire hanger and the sky threatens to storm, she comes up with a singing-in-the-rain plan of action. With the help of a friendly German Shepherd, a grocer, a white cat, a butterfly, and a locksmith.

Rating: *****

This story will really make your preschooler think as all of the actions are independent upon the next. It also is written in a really nice singsong rhyme: “The car gets unlocked, jangle-me jome/The car gets unlocked, and we drive home.”
