Toddler-PreS–There is no such thing as too much mud for this energetic brother and sister duo as they play games and race around the woods after a rainstorm till their mother calls them home. Young readers who love to play outdoors and funky onomatopoeia will freely revel in this story of messy fun.

VERDICT An affectionate look at the old school joys of unsupervised play; pair this with a project making mud prints.
