Robert Munsch writes some of the best children's books.

Jule Ann gets dressed and goes outside to play. Unbeknownst to her, a mud puddle is waiting to pounce!

What fun (and terror) for young readers! The fun is the unexpected and imaginative tale. The terror could be the attacking mud ball. Readers, young and old, must read this tall tale with silliness, joy, and determination. Problem can be solved, the solution might just take a try or two. This book would be excellent during storytime under variety of themes.

Reviewed from a NetGalley copy. Thank you, Annick Press!

This book was my introduction to Robert Munsch, and I was excited to share it with Mini-Me. I'm happy to say that she likes it too. :)

got this off a read-aloud hit list. hate the art. not into the story. way too many words per page. I like the concept of the mud puddle jumping on the kid, but it's poorly done

Getting dirty is serious kid's business and this book misses that point. It's still funny. But the surprise twist ending isn't funny enough. Though I do like all the clothes hung up on the line.

An excellent story with the addition of a handmade mud puppet and magnets to accentuate the imagery.
