It's raining, but one little boy can't wait to go outside for an adventure with his granddad.

"It's the hottest day of the year, hotter than broccoli soup, hotter than the Atacama Desert, hotter than the surface of the sun. It's just the right kind of day for a boy and his grandad to go for a picnic. But as the sun beats down, Grandad keeps having to stop for a rest, and by the time they find the perfect picnic spot, some pirates have beaten them to it. Good job they have enough food to share!" --From the publisher.

"Despite the stormy weather, a boy and his granddad decide it's the perfect day for kite flying. First they have to find the kite... then their adventure really takes off"--Page [4] of cover.

"A boy and his granddad spend the morning gathering materials to make a sled. When they take it out for a spin, they end up searching for a lost dog. Their snowy adventure takes them all the way to the Arctic, where they are finally able to find the dog—and her new friends!"--
