- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a really cute book. While character development is not that great, this book can be used in the classroom to teach about traveling and also theme and genre because it changes frequently. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Toot and Puddle are best friends with very different interests. While Puddle enjoys staying home in Woodcock Pocket, Toot travels around the world sending his best friend postcards from each of his destinations. The watercolor illustrations of each pig enjoying itself in different locales are simply delightful. A sweet book to share at any time and would be well suited for a unit on postcard writing and/or traveling around the world. A nice lesson on how friends can have different interests and yet still be best friends. A good choice for students in K-3.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Toot and Puddle, Toot goes travelling and Puddle stays at home. They both have their own sorts of adventures, but are happy when they are finally at home together.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A lovely book for teaching kids about the importance of crafting, letter-writing, and friendship.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Genre: FantasyCritique of Genre: This is a cute example of fantasy because the two little piglet friends go on adventures together but we don't get to know the characters very well. You get a general feeling of warmth reading the story, but it was harder to relate with them. media: watercolorage appropriateness: primary
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Toot and Puddle are best friends who live in Woodcock pocket. Really I think it is the best art in any children's book! Amazing images that are so adventurous and comforting. I wish that I lived in Woodcock pocket!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute story, but not great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5These are fantastic books. The art is great, the story moves along, and it has deft touches for parents as well as great attraction for kids.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This modern fantasy was about two pigs who were the best of friends. One pig liked to be at home and do things at home, while the other liked to travel and see the world. The story described both pig's adventures (at home and around the world). Toot, the friend who liked to travel would send Puddle, the pig at home postcards describing his adventures. In the end the best friends are brought back together at home because they missed one another.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I just "discovered" these books in my library. I'd known of Holly Hobbie's art, but for some reason, over years of being a librarian and reading picture books, never read the Toot and Puddle series. I've fallen in love! Pigs are one of my favorite animals and book characters. Toot and Puddle are delightful and Hobbie's joie de vivre in the illustrations shines out. I'm somewhere in between Toot's adventuresome spirit and Puddle's stay-at-home one. The two make for a fun contrast in the stories. My favorite is "Wish You Were Here."Start on the title page and smile widely at the illustration of the two friends playing catch. Toot's head is thrown back, his baseball cap flying off, one leg up as he throws the ball. Puddle's cap is on backwards, his mitt out for the catch, his focus intent on the ball flying half-way between he and his friend. This first illustration announces the pure joy and heart of the story.Next, savor the picture opposite the verso. An older pig with eyeglasses, seated with toes crossed, is intent on reading a book titled "Pig Tale." This illustration graces each Toot & Puddle book, quietly stating the joy and importance of reading.After the first two pages introducing us to the two friends and their home in Woodcock Pocket, Hobbie writes one of my favorite lines, because it mirrors my feelings for Lopez Island: "It was such a perfect place to be that Puddle never wanted to go anywhere else." Well, yes, I do enjoy visiting other places like Toot, but I'm also more content to stay here than I've been anywhere else.Toot sets out to see the world. Pocket stays home. Each finds great adventure: witness the full-page drawing of Toot surrounded by hippos as he floats in a river, waving, in Africa opposite the full-page of Puddle ice skating with glee at Pocket Pond. The addition of postcards from Toot - complete with postage stamps and post office markings - teach geography and letter writing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved this book. The illustrations make the characters look absolutely adorable. I like how the illustrations also included post-cards from Toot to Puddle throughout the course of the year. This book did a great job of demonstrating two character’s very different personalities, and not making one look better than the other. For example when Toot is informing Puddle about his adventures in the Solomon Islands, Puddle looks just as happy in a tub full of mud at home on the page next to Toot’s. This shows children that it is nice to travel, but it is okay to stay home too. Either way, you can still have an adventure. The author does this over and over again on each page to reinforce the idea that even though the two characters have fun in two different ways, you can still stay good friends. This leaves the reader with the message that friendship knows no boundaries.
