Just a Puddle . . . or Is It? (a Point-Of-View Picture Book)

By Becca McMurdie

Author Becca McMurdie and Pura Belpr Honor Award-winning illustrator Paola Escobar explore the natural world with appreciation and empathy in this wildly imaginative, spring-themed picture book about seeing the world through others' eyes

A puddle is just a puddle . . . or is it? To a fox, it's a mirror. To a cat, it's a refreshing drink. To a young child, it's JOY A place to play or a home for critters, the woods and its meadows can be so many things All it takes is a little shift in perspective.

Perfect for nature walks, lazy days on picnic blankets, or in a classroom or a playroom, Just a Puddle . . . or Is It? promotes creative thinking and empathy for the world around us--and all of its inhabitants--teaching young readers that nothing in nature is "just" what it is, but so much more.
