The Puddle




 

The Puddle

by David McPhail
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Incorporated

What better thing to do on a rainy day than sail a toy boat in puddles? The boy in this story gets permission from his mother to do just that, with the condition that only the boat gets to go in the puddles! Brought to life in rich watercolors, this cheerful tale makes a rainy day an adventure for any child.
