The Rainy Day Band
This book belongs to:

It rained all day, and Ana and her little brother Kofi could not play outside. Kofi pressed his nose to the window. “This is the most boring day ever,” he said.

Ana had an idea. She found two wooden spoons, an empty box and a jar of dry beans. She turned the box into a drum and filled a plastic bottle with beans to make a shaker. Kofi tapped the pots with the spoons.

Soon Grandma joined them with her old whistle. Together they made a noisy, happy band called “The Raindrops”. They played fast songs and slow songs, and they marched around the kitchen table.

When the rain finally stopped, Kofi was surprised. “Already?” he asked. “Can we play one more song?”
