Summary:
The pictures tell most of the story in this almost-wordless book. Two people chance to meet, become separated, and eventually find their way back together.

Teaching Ideas:
ESL learners will find much to talk about in these pictures. Beginning readers can dictate the plot to their tutors or teachers. Copy change might work well. Learners could change the setting, for example, and write their own stories. Class discussion or writing might center on why the author elected to provide details of the weather.
