Our Thoughts:
Spring is in the air. Spring showers and puddle jumping is just about to begin. Puddle Jumpers is a fun book about a little boy that simply wants to jump in the puddles. Being a mom of two boys, I can totally relate. Puddles just call their names, and it’s almost impossible to walk by one without giving it a huge stomp. My five-year old really enjoyed reading this book which isn’t surprising at all. He is my little “puddle jumper”.
If you are looking for a fun new read to add to your Spring collection of books, be sure to check out Puddle Jumpers. The illustrations and so fun and the entire book just gives off an amazing feeling. Who hasn’t enjoyed jumping in a spring puddle…as a child and as an adult?
