Clouds gather, skies darken, rain drops, puddles appear… Let’s go puddling!

Pull on your wellies and button up your coats for this playful, interactive story all about children delighting in the joy of splish-splash-sploshing in muddy puddles with their friends, and cherishing snuggles on the sofa afterwards.

Emma Perry's debut on the Walker list encapsulates the joy of being outside whatever the weather, and is paired perfectly with Claire Alexander's watercolour artwork to recreate splashing puddles and raindrops!

• Rejoices playing outdoors and being in the moment, followed by the snuggles on the sofa at the end of the day when wellies are wet and socks are soggy.
• Bustling, urban environments are often under-represented in children's books. There is a warm, community feeling between the three families who all come out from the high-rise tower block to play together in the park below. 
• Splashing in puddles is an experience that every child will have; there is joy in pulling on wellies and raincoats, meeting up with friends and playing outside in the rain.
