Product Description
Tom refers to his grandfather as 'Collar' because he drags him around on a lead. One day, Tom decides that he will take Collar on a walk to see the puddles he has named after the members of the family, but the puddles are not there. Collar insists that this is because it hasn't rained, but Tom believes that it's just because they haven't been put in yet. He wanders off, leaving Collar talking to Mrs Whitebobblehat, and comes across just the person he needs ...Finally, puddles restored to their full, family-resembling glory, Tom and Collar go home for tea.
From the Back Cover
The Puddleman is the story of the touching relationship between Tom and his grandfather (called 'Collar' because he drags him around on a lead). One day, Tom decides that he will take Collar for a walk to see the puddles that are named after members of his family. Tom's grandfather tries to tell him that they won't be there because it hasn't rained for ages, and when they arrive, there are indeed no puddles. Tom insists that it is just because they haven't been put in yet.
When Mrs Whitebobblehat turns up with her dog, Robson, Tom takes the opportunity to escape the silly, grown-up conversation about gardens crying out for rain and wanders off down the path. Before too long, he comes across just the person he needs...
Magical, beguiling and utterly in tune with the richness of a child's imagination, The Puddleman is classic Briggs.
