Set to the rhythm of a well-known folk song, “It Ain’t Gonna Rain No More” Beaumont has written an entertaining tale of a child who loves to paint. When the main character gets into trouble for painting on the walls, floor, ceiling, curtains and door, he decides that he won’t paint anymore. However, with a childlike enthusiasm and unwillingness to give up a great form of expression, he retrieves the paints from where they were hidden and begins to paint his body. The rhyming text and layout of the book makes it a wonderful read aloud. Each turn of the page reveals a newly painted part and the rhyming text makes it easy for readers of all ages to predict the next part that has been painted. Catrow’s use of pen and ink along with watercolor is particularly effective as illustrations are black and white, except for the paint that is being used. Each newly painted part is alive with texture and fancy and includes a leg that looks like an Easter egg and a row of ants marching up the boy’s arm. The dog in the story provides expression and an added touch of humor to an already comical story that readers will want to hear read or sung again and again.
