Do you have a special playroom where you keep all your toys? Is there a magical key that opens the door to this playroom? Tate and Kate are on another adventure when a rainy day interferes with their plans to go to the park. Mom sends them off with the key to the playroom and they spend the morning using their imaginations and having a great time. In the toy chest they find a fancy dress and a tiara so Kate can be a princess; Tate finds a fancy suit and a wand, so he can be a magician. And the magic of their imagination begins when they enter a fascinating castle all made of fruit.

Twin Adventures: Rainy Day by Pat Henry and Paul Henry IV, is book three of the Twin Adventures Series. Like the previous two books, this charming story enables the characters to inspire young readers to use their imaginations and make up their own adventures and fantasies. The story is told in simple language so young readers can follow along or read on their own and improve their reading skills. The illustrations by Bryant Albert are bright and colorful and certainly help move the story along. The authors use just enough descriptive narrative so readers will feel part of the magical setting that becomes the adventure. Dialogue is well constructed and adds more flavor to the developing plot. The entire series is a great way to introduce young readers to the multiple possibilities in the world of one’s imagination. Beautifully told and presented.

A fruit palace is surrounded by berry bears, cherry swings, and a slippery banana bridge. Oh, and a fire-breathing dragon! Will the twins defeat the dragon and return home before lunch? Open the book and see.

Twin Adventures: Rainy Day by Pat Henry and Paul Henry IV is a deliciously fun adventure! The story is written in a chronological timeline of a child’s day. The story unfolds with ease, making it relatively easy to read and understand. The illustrations by Bryant Albert are vibrant and follow and enhance the storyline in a childlike fashion. The main characters being twins makes them curiously unique. The plot contains playful imagination, action, and a touch of suspense suitable for young children. I especially enjoyed the mishap of the slippery banana bridge and the dog turning into a fire-breathing dragon. These incidents capture the heart of a child’s creativity. The story encourages responsibility, sibling friendship, family, and fun-loving adventure. The narrative ends with the children safely back home and ready for their next quest. Twin Adventures: Rainy Day leaves you wondering what will happen next in the world of Tate and Kate.
