The Puddle Pail

Elisa Kleven''s beloved little blue crocodile, Ernst, stars in this story about two brothers. While sensible Sol collects things like feathers and shells, Ernst has a more whimsical approach: He wants to collect puddles and all they reflect--clouds, stripes, colors, and stars. Ernst''s imagination soars once he begins his amazing collection.

Two brothers have very different ideas about what to collect--one likes bottlecaps, the other likes...puddles! Elisa Kleven''s second book featuring Ernst, the inquisitive crocodile. Previous editions sold 28,000 copiesWill appeal to budding naturalists and collectors.
