Mud!

by Annie Bailey, Jen Corace (Illustrator)

Overview

An energetic picture book ode to rainy days, outdoor play, and siblings, all about oozy, smoozy, squishy mud!

Gloopy, gloppy, gorgeous mud.
Ooozy, smoozy, soupy mud.
Stomp it, poke it, squeeze it, whack it,
Pack it into bricks and stack it.
 
This very young picture book from author Annie Bailey and illustrator Jen Corace celebrates all things mud! The rhyming text is full of onomatopoeia and humor, and follows a brother and sister as they go outside on a rainy day to play in the mud and then clean up—only for the muddy fun to start up again.

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.
