Pete the Bee and the Rainy Day is the fortieth Pete the Bee story written by British author Paul Cook. The short stories are centred around the rescue farm where Pete and his friends live. The animals, which include Shebdon the shire horse and Brandon the fly, share many adventures together but Pete usually saves the day. These lighthearted stories can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The animals are stuck in the barn as it has been raining all day. They start to argue and Pete wants to find somewhere else to stay until it is sunny again.
