(2) PS Illustrated by Chris Raschka. A puddle worries that she'll become a pond if it keeps raining. Visits from a seagull, a basketball, a child's sneaker, and a poodle (and its "piddle") don't improve her mood. As the sun comes out, a girl reaches out to the now rainbow-colored puddle in wonder, helping Puddle let go of her bad experiences. Lively, poetic text and humor-filled, appropriately watery paintings help children grasp the ideas of empathy and perspective.
