No to this title that perfectly rhymes on each page which is the best part of the book, but the storyline is strange one raindrop keeps falling on the baby’s head and his loving family members think he is trying. The different extended family members make attempts to pacify the baby, but only the sunshine makes the infant happy. Weird! And I didn’t like the illustrations either.

This book features an Asian American family. Rain drips onto the baby, causing him to cry. The family members all try to pacify him.

An interesting and humorous book. Love how the text rhymes and how the plot twists;)
Somehow reminded me of the frustration of the baby in "King Baby", though this book is published in 1995.
