By Holly Hobbie
Part of the Toot & Puddle series
A stormy night brings unexpected joy to a gloomy friend.
Toot is inexplicably blue despite the sunny day. His friend Puddle tries everything—berry cobbler, river rafting, and games—to lift his spirits, but nothing works. Just as hope fades, a thunderstorm floods Pocket Pond, clearing the air. The next morning, Toot's mood is transformed. Discover how a stormy night can bring unexpected joy and the power of friendship to brighten even the darkest days.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the flowers are in full bloom- so why is Toot so blue? In an effort to cheer up his best friend, Puddle bakes Toot’s favorite berry cobbler, takes him on a river rafting adventure, invites all of their friends over for a fun-filled day of games and sing-alongs, but nothing seems to help. Just when he is about to give up, a sudden thunderstorm hits Woodcock Pocket, flooding all of Pocket Pond. The next day, Puddle waks up to find the air cleared…and his old friend back. With a cheerful mix of humor, warmth, and a classic style all her own, Holly Hobbie captures how the coming of a new day and good friends can help raise our spirits. Best of all, this affordable paperback edition comes with two punch-out recipe cards with step-by-step instructions that kids can follow to make a no-bake fruit cheesecake and chilled strawberry lemonade.
