The Problem with the Puddles Audiobook

" A cute book - but it just didn't click with me for some reason. "

" I thought this was a completely delightful and charming book, thoroughly enjoyable and funny, until page 130 when it veered in some strange direction and lost me for the rest of the book. Weirdest experience I've ever had reading a book. Tricia Tusa's art is phenomenal though. "

" I read the audio version of this book. I had to make myself finish this book. Mr. and Mrs. Puddle who could never agree on anything became annoying to me. I did enjoy the alternate viewpoints of the dogs, Little Sally and Big Sally. I believe there will be an audience problem with this book. It's 200 pages, but seems more suited to the interests of primary age students. The tongue in cheek humor works much better in The Willoughbys than it does here. "

" bizarre but fun. audience? and what was the point of the skunks? i liked it overall. 4 stars. "

" The kids really liked it. A bit overboard for an adult. "

" This is a funny young reader book. It gives good chuckles. "

" Elsie loved this book (and so did I). It was laugh out loud funny, switching between the perspective of the family and the dogs they left behind. "

" The Puddle parents cannot seem to agree about anything, but when their dogs go missing the whole family embarks on an unlikely quest that eventually answers many unasked questions "

" Darling, clever word play, cute story. The only problem is that the target audience will need to be explained a lot of the humor. "

" Listened to on way to MIL house. Kids enjoyed it and it does have some funny bits. "

" Wonky and delightful. This book is full of crazy, over-the-top characters and fun word play. It reminds me so much of...something...but I can't remember what! "

" Picked this one up on a whim. It was OK. Nothing to get super excited about. Eccentric characters... my favorites were the dogs (both named Sally). "

" So funny. The characters are absolutely ridiculous. "

" I'm sorry, I so wanted to like this, but I just couldn't get excited about it. And when I'm avoiding reading altogether because I don't want to pick up my current book, that's when I know it's time to quit that book. I feel like I've seen these characters before -- quirky parents, sensible children. "

" I was not impressed with The Problem with the Puddles. It is not Newbery material. I thought it had too much dialogue and it felt very frenetic. "

" These people are crazy fun! The text and illustrations work great together. "

" I found this book to be a bit too confusing to be funny. The characters spent most of the book agreeing to disagree to form any kind of attachment to them. The two dogs, both named Sally, were the only characters whom really showed much personality. "

" Cute book for kids. "

" Not as funny as I hoped. It was an ok read for my family to share together. "
