Amazon Customer said Love this series, just not on Kindle.. I Love*love*love Toot and Puddle. I think Hollie Hobbie is the *best* author/illustrator so if I could actually read the book I'm sure I'd give it 5 stars. The problem is that I thought I would use this on my phone but the book is too large to read on my little phone. There is no way to zoom in and out or pan around so it is simply illegible. Then I tried on my laptop (a Mac Powerbook) but it said I'm not authorized for it, in the end I can open it in the cloud reader but it is still a little small and awkward to use. Plus I thought I could pull out a kids book on the fly but now I can o. A good book for a child's bad day K. Mandalay Everybody has bad days, and sometimes we don't know what to do to help.Toot is having a bad day, and doesn't know why, so his friend, Puddle, tries to cheer him up. Nothing seems to help for very long until there is a big rainstorm that clears the air.I love that this book does not oversimplify these kinds of moods we all have. And yet, it gives hope that the mood will pass. Young children relate to this story well, especially when they are having a tough day.The art work and writing is beautiful, and I am a big Toot and Puddle fan because of that.I would definitely say it's a more posit. aj weick said Love to be able to find such great literature without leaving home!. Delightful! How every relationship should be and every life, though different, should be lived to the fullest.
