Editorial Review

“Mud holds a natural attraction for children it seems, and Gammell imaginatively plays off that premise with pages full of swirls and drips of brownish colors set against grays and blues of showery skies…. For Mudkin’s few phrases, Gammell cleverly places mud splats for dialogue, nudging children into supplying their own interpretations. There’s little text; the artist’s energetic style and rain-splashed colors carry the story forward.” —School Library Journal
