I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A lovely book about what happens in a puddle. You will find all the animals that enjoy the puddle and how they enjoy it. I especially love the illustrations.

I LOVED the pictures in this book! It was my favorite thing about this, and it made looking and reading the book so much more fun. Because of this “scrapbook” like picture as I like to call it, it keeps the readers engaged. Loved the rhyming of the book as well. Easy book to follow as you go through season change.

The Noisy Puddle: A Vernal Pool Through the Seasons (Hardcover)
by Linda Booth Sweeney
A good ecology, or seasonal science book for elementary education. This book would be a great resource for science classrooms, as the students can come back year after year adding to their understanding of seasons, or ecology. I can also be a resource for research projects in elementary schools. The students can look at the botany shown with the flora a d fauna and how they interact over the cycle of a year.
The artwork is representational and very detailed, it shows a remarkable diversity of light, and composition.

The Noisy Puddle is a great way to help young readers explore the seasons by observing their surroundings in nature. Beautifully illustrated, the text is inviting and attainable for young readers. Teachers and parents will also enjoy sharing this story with children. A book that they will reach for over and over as a new favorite!

I thoroughly enjoyed this simple, yet well done, picture book of nature through the cycle of the seasons. The artwork is beautifully done and adds to the book rather than taking away.

What a terrifically wonderful story! It’s presented in simple rhyming words that are fun and easy to understand. Yet it is the use of the simple words that the whole world at the puddle comes alive for the reader. Wonderfully different approach to teaching kids all that goes on around them while not being preachy.
I received this ebook for free from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I love a kid's book with a good rhyming scheme and this one is awesome. The story follows a puddle and how it changes through the seasons.
My kids loved the pictures and loved looking at all the different animals featured in the words and pictures.
Very cute with bright pictures.

The Noisy Puddle follows a puddle through the different seasons and showcases the wildlife throughout its surroundings. I think children who enjoy nature or woodland animals/insects will enjoy this book. The illustrations were beautiful.

I received a DRC from Owlkids Books | Owlkids via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the illustrations in this book. They are paper cutouts so they add depth to the page which is interesting. I liked that the story goes through the different seasons and lets kids see what happens. I could see this as a scavenger hunt through the seasons with kids looking in real life for the different insects and plant life mentioned in the book.

'The Noisy Puddle' by Linda Booth Sweeney is a beautiful book with easy prose. The illustrations are multi-media like and lovely. Perfect for nature lovers.

This book will be perfect for nature lovers to explore with their kids. The illustrations are engaging and the information presented is laid out clearly and logically. The vernal pond area within the forest is shown throughout each season, including other forest creatures that live around these bodies of water. Sometimes dormant and sometimes bursting with life, both seen and unseen. These little puddles are vital to the ecosystem and this book shares the secrets to be found within.

The Noisy Puddle is one I’ll have to buy. I loved the 3D look of the art work which was cut paper and cloth. It’s all about vernal pools in different seasons and the life found there. It would be a fun one to take on a walk in the woods.

This unique take on the life cycle of a specific puddle type gave a thorough understanding of the details of the life cycle over a year without being overwhelming. Multiple points where additional exploration could be encouraged, I would recommend this for a classroom library for 1st through 3rd grade.
