Description
Who has fallen into the rain puddle Is it plump hen, turkey gobbler, curly sheep or beautiful fat pig When all the animals peer into the puddle at the same time, they see the entire farmyard underwater. Off they run to get help. Meanwhile, the hot sun shines down and wise owl chuckles to himself. This charming tale - ideal for reading out loud - captures perfectly the wonder of discovering the outside world for the first time.
