Puddles
by Jonathan London
"Big ones, little ones, long ones, skinny ones—pieces of sky on the ground."
A delightful picture book about a brother and sister enjoying the delights of a world all wet after a night of rain. With coats and boots, they go outside and discover tiny rivulets to launch boats, worms, frogs, mud, and puddles. Onomatopoeia words emphasize the sounds of the storm and the sounds of playing in the mud and puddles ("splash" "squish"). A fun story with descriptive language that children can relate to. A perfect book to introduce Spring.
