Sarah and Charlie hunt down the biggest puddle in the world with their
grandfather in this fun introduction to the water cycle, perfect for
young readers.
When Sarah and her younger brother Charlie go to stay with their
grandparents, it rains for days. At first, they have fun exploring
inside the big, old house, but eventually they want to explore outside,
too. "Where does the rain come from?" Sarah asks her grandfather, Big T.
He promises to show her once it stops raining.
When the storm passes, Sarah, Big T., Charlie and Keeper the dog go
exploring. They jump in puddles, draw a puddle map and finally find the
biggest puddle in the world!
Mark Lee's lively story is an introduction to the water cycle for young
readers. Nathalie Dion's soft illustrations show the fun, loving
relationship between Big T., Sarah and Charlie.
