Rain Learns to Read

By Mary Ann DeLong

Rain Deer loves playing hide-and-seek in the forest with all his friends. One day when he finds the perfect hiding spot inside a dark cave, he closes his eyes and waits for someone to find him. Hours later when he awakens, he realizes he is all alone and his friends are gone.

Now lost in the woods, Rain must try to find his way home to his friends and family. After he leaves the cave, he sees a big road sign with words and arrows pointing in different directions. Unfortunately, Rain cannot read the sign and has no idea which way is home. As he continues to wander through the forest, lost and alone, he comes across a small building with children inside. Has Rain finally found the answer to his troubles?

In this charming story, a young deer who cannot read becomes lost in the woods where he must rely on a group of school children to help him find his way back home.
