A recurring muddy surprise

Jule Ann’s trips outside keep being interrupted by the same peculiar problem: a mud puddle that jumps onto her and leaves her dirty. Each time her mother scrubs her clean, the puddle is waiting again. The repeated pattern gives the story its shape, building toward Jule Ann’s solution: cheerful ingenuity and two bars of smelly yellow soap. First published in 1979, this picture book was the first of Robert Munsch’s oral stories to be published as a book. Dusan Petricic’s illustrations accompany the comic tussle between a child and an unusually lively puddle.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy comic picture-book situations
  • Families looking for a story built around repetition and a child’s practical solution

Book overview

A brand-new look for a classic story. First published in 1979, this was the first of Robert Munsch's oral stories to be turned into a book. Since then, it has made countless children (and adults) all around the world laugh out loud. When Jule Ann goes outside, a mud puddle jumps on her and gets her dirty all over. No sooner does her mother scrub her clean than she ventures out again, only to be pounced upon by the pesky mud puddle. The cycle continues until finally Jule Ann gets the better of the mud puddle with cheerful ingenuity and two bars of smelly yellow soap. Lively, clever artwork by award-winning illustrator Dusan Petricic gives this bestselling picture book a fresh and energetic look that will charm a new generation of young readers.
