![]() Jule Anne, the kid in Mud Puddle was one of my favorite kids in the nursery school. When I sent out a bunch of stories to publishers, that was the one that got chosen to be my first book, even though it wasn’t the first story I had ever made up. The kids started asking for it and I told it every day for about two months. I decided that it was a pretty good story. They thought that mud puddles living in trees would explain why they got dirty so much. The first time I told it they went out into the playground and looked up in the trees for mud puddles. I got the idea that the kids might like a story about mud so I made up a story about a mud puddle that jumped on kids from out of trees. The playground had turned into a large mud hole and the children always got very dirty whenever they went outside, but there wasn’t really very much the kids could do about it. I made it up one very wet Spring in 1976 when I was working in a nursery school. Mud Puddle was the first story that I ever made into a book.
