Mr . Gloomingdale has been grumpy for so long that he can't even remember why he was in a bad mood in the first place. When he wishes for sunshine and light to go away and leave him to be gloomy, his wish backfires in a way that he doesn't expect! Mr. Gloomingdale's Downpour is a charming illustrated story for all children starring an endearingly grouchy character that learns a valuable lesson about helping others.
