About this title

About the Author:

James Stevenson is a prolific author of picture books, poetry, and young adult novels. His work is read and loved by readers of all ages.

From Booklist:

Ages 5^-7. A sequel to The Mud Flat Olympics (1994), this book consists of a series of scenes depicting the animal inhabitants of Mud Flat and a visiting rainmaker during a very hot, very dry period. Each chapter acts as a skit on paper, with its own situation, characters, and humor worked out in a double-page spread or two, separate and yet contributing to the whole. Stevenson's facility with line gives the book a lift that would be difficult to imitate successfully. The expressive line drawings, bright with colorful washes, create much of the humor through their depiction of characters and situations. Text and illustrations work together to an unusual degree, creating a book that has its own quirky wit. As welcome as rain in Mud Flat, this picture book will be a treat for Stevenson fans.
