Because you never really know ...

down in the depths below.

Nayu's thoughts
A puddle isn't just a bit of water, it's so much more! I love how
this book explores the imagination that gets triggered by puddles,
with lots of different scenarios, mostly positive with the odd scary
one. The evil creature near the end made me laugh because it's a
classic creature and, well, it has to be read to be understood!
Together and alone the children discover different worlds in puddles
which introduces the reader to different environments.
I loved the
unicorn mermaid at the front of the pirate ship, the cuteness of the
animals around the puddles, and the not knowing of what will be on
the next page. Definitely a must read on rainy days and dry ones!
Readers will have fun imagining what else could be in puddles. I did
like that some puddles are super deep, which could be extrapolated to
mean people shouldn't jump into a body of water whose depth is
unknown, at least that's what I thought. Puddles in pavement are ok,
big lake puddles not so much.
