The Deep Deep Puddle, by Mary Jessie Parker

The Deep Deep Puddle The Deep Deep Puddle, by Mary Jessie Parker, 40 pages

I was not a fan of this picture book.  So, it's sort of a counting book, and increasingly larger numbers of items/things/people keep falling into this deep deep puddle; but I kept thinking, are they drowning?  Am I supposed to suspend my disbelief about their abilities to survive underwater for these great lengths of time?  Did the taxis fall on the people in the puddle- are they laying at the bottom, being crushed?  Are the cats eating the squirrels?  What's going on down there?  Far too ambiguous.
