Synopsis
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 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, with puddles restored to their full, family-resembling glory, Tom and Collar go home for tea.

About the Author
Raymond Briggs attended the Wimbledon School of Art at the age of fifteen. After completing a typography course at the Central School of Art, he went on to study at the Slade School of Fine Art. A passionate proponent of the art of the strip cartoon, Briggs has created many of his best-known books in this format. His is a formidable canon of work, beginning in the late 1950s. Several of his books have been made into highly acclaimed animated films. In addition to the Kate Greenaway Medal for the Mother Goose Treasury and Father Christmas, Briggs has also received the Kurt Maschler Award and the Children's Author of the Year Award for The Man, the British Book Award's Best Illustrated Book of the Year for Ethel and Ernest, and the Smarties Silver Prize for Ug.Reviews
Tom and his grandfather, whom Tom calls Collar, go for a walk. Tom, determined to play in puddles, has put on his wellies, but his grandfather insists that it hasn't rained "in ages." However, Tom--who has named the puddles after his family members--says they will be there. Leaving his grandfather behind and running along the road to look for them, Tom meets the Puddleman, who carries a stack of puddles on his back, and helps the man place the puddles on the road. As in The Snowman (1978), Briggs uses touches of magical realism in this a charmingly wacky tale. Soft colored-pencil artwork and skillful use of panels of different sizes keep the story moving. Any kid who has ever jumped into a puddle will appreciate the whimsy. Kat Kan
