Emma Perry Books

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!

A real treat for booklovers and not-yet-book-lovers alike, all about the irresistible magic of the world of books!

This book is a wonderful addition to the classroom library. There is a lot of repetition of language to support readers in being gently led through the story and the symmetry of the beginning and the ending is lovely. The charming illustrations bring the story to life and the book itself needs to be rotated while being read, which keeps it engaging and furthers the sense of adventuring inside the book.

This picture book about the charms of reading will turn normal days into book days all year round.
