This is a really cute story. It’s about a group of Welles, yes, rain boots, that go off to have an adventure. On their adventure, they meet up with their little girl who should be in bed. The illustrations are bright and colorful, but I do think the story is quite long. And while I did like the story, I actually think it would work better as an animated short. The artwork works for that very well. I think because this is the grand adventure it is reminiscent of the shorts from the 90s and has a “Brave Little Toaster” feel. Overall, this was fine, and I would read it again, but most kids would probably fall asleep before you get to the end.
