Let's Go Puddling!

This vibrant picture book captures the pure, unadulterated joy of children playing in puddles on a rainy day. It follows three families who meet outside their high-rise building, all eager to embrace the wet weather. The buoyant text and lively watercolor illustrations perfectly convey the exuberance of stomping through muddy puddles, culminating in a cozy indoor snuggle. It's a wonderful read-aloud that celebrates outdoor play, family connection, and finding happiness in simple moments, regardless of the weather.

Grab a raincoat, pull on some boots, and head out the door for a joyful celebration of splish-sploshing in puddles. Squelch! Clouds gather, skies darken, rain falls, puddles appear. Yippee! Here comes the rain! Three families meet up in front of their high-rise apartment building, all with the same idea. The children can’t wait to stimp-stamp-stomp through the muddy puddles until their boots overflow—then snuggle with the grown-ups on the couch as their soggy socks dry. Emma Perry’s buoyant text summons the thrill of being outdoors regardless of the weather, while Claire Alexander’s lively watercolors capture the children’s exuberant play amid the splashing drops.
