Review: SPLISH SPLASH
Rating: 4 out of 5

There are many things to like about this book. The illustrations of children who are friends playing in the puddles are biracial and represent different cultures. Plot line is simple; the story is most appropriate for toddlers.The protagonist is a strong willed little girl who awakes to the sound of rain and is determined to go out and play in the puddles. She wakes up her mom who does not hesitate to comply immediately. One by one other neighboring friends hear her playing in the rain and come out dressed in rain gear to join in the fun. As one reviewer mentions, the rainbow is drawn incorrectly; Mom suddenly reappears in the story at the end, but toddlers won't mind these inconsistencies. Readers are able to download an audiobook and a coloring page to accompany this kindle edition.
