This story will really make your preschooler think as all of the actions are independent upon the next. It also is written in a really nice singsong rhyme: “The car gets unlocked, jangle-me jome/The car gets unlocked, and we drive home.”

A boy sets out to sail his boat in a puddle and is joined by a frog, a turtle, an alligator, a pig, and an elephant.
Rating: ****
This is a great book for inspiring a child’s imagination. The protagonist is told not to get wet but the animals make sure he does. It also shows time and effect as the puddle changes with each animal encounter.
