There's a storm brewing and a mother and daughter are out on a walk - what can they see? Follow them on their journey as the weather changes, a storm arrives and they find an umbrella is not quite enough to keep them completely dry in this lovely story by Lucy Courtenay.

Children can re-cap the journey and the changing weather on pages 14-15. Pink B level (Band 1B) books contain very short, repetitious sentences, or single phrases of two to four words.
