- Reading
- Read in short sections and pause before the riddle’s answer is revealed, inviting predictions about the treasures and the consequences of the growing dampness. Afterwards, discuss whether the solution feels fair.
- Themes
- Responsibility after being tricked: Rani is tricked into looking after rain clouds and must deal with the resulting task while seeking a solution. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- What counts as a treasure: Rani must answer a riddle about Pixie Hollow’s three greatest treasures while trying to manage the rain clouds. The riddle appears to invite reflection on what a community values, but the actual answers and their presentation are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- Dab’s trick leaves Rani responsible for the clouds, so it is worth noticing how the book treats being placed in an unwanted task and whether Rani has meaningful choices.
