Review
"Through a series of whimsical watercolor vignettes, [McPhail] traces a boy's outing one drizzly afternoon to a puddle where he sails his toy boat. Though the little fellow heeds his mother's warning to stay out of the water himself, he gets wet nevertheless, thanks to a menagerie of fun-seeking visitors bent on splashy fun...A winning effort in all regards."-Starred, "Publishers Weekly" "An especially charming, gently funny fantasy rooted in the here and now . . . The pictures, which are crucial, add all sorts of subtle comedy to the simple text." "-- Booklist" "A good choice for snuggling or quiet time." "-- School Library Journal"
