A Puddle Reflects Clouds

Bryony Fallowfield

A puddle winks up at the sky, and suddenly the clouds are swimming at your feet. Then a duck waddles through the reflection and everything ripples into giggles. Bryony Fallowfield's quiet little chapters follow Mira and her dog Bramble through one rainy afternoon that turns friendly and strange. Best for ages 4 to 7 who like talking to worms and waiting for the sun to come back out. Nell Pockett reads with the soft patience of someone who has also watched puddles for a very long time, her voice dipping low for sleepy goodnights. Six short chapters, about twenty minutes total. Good for car rides home from school or winding down after splashing through actual puddles.
