About This Book
In this delightful picture book based on the popular PBS Kids series, Peg and her feline friend Cat embrace a rainy day by heading to the park for some puddle-splashing. When Cat expresses worry about the depth of the puddles, Peg ingeniously introduces the concept of measurement to find the perfect jumping spots. This story gently teaches early math skills, specifically measurement, through an engaging and relatable scenario. It also highlights themes of friendship, problem-solving, and overcoming minor fears, making it a wonderful read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children.
A rainy day in the park has Peg and Cat singing, dancing, and measuring puddles to find out which ones are perfect for jumping in. Splash! It’s a rainy day, which is good news for Peg and Cat, who can’t wait to get outside to splash in the puddles. With their rain boots, raincoats, and umbrellas, they’re all set for the puddles in the park. Peg jumps right in, but Cat isn’t so sure. Just how deep is that water, anyway? If only they had some way to measure how far down the puddles go! A clever idea from Peg might just hold the solution to Cat’s puddle problem in this engaging story, which comes with bonus stickers.
