One last thing, their home, Woodcock Pocket. With a delightful mix of humor, warmth, and a classic style all her own, Holly Hobbie captures the all excitement and joy that surround adventures-near and far. Of course, I feel huge affinity with the semi-agoraphobic Puddle, I tend to be wet, piggy and pool myself around the house and don't like to go out much at all. The illustrations are highly enjoyable and the story funny and entertaining. Discover the English Audiobook at Audible. It's a delightful book for younger children, not too young, 4-7 perhaps - or 36 year old men. Toot & Puddle: Top of the World as its meant to be heard, narrated by Nick Sullivan. The book is then a fun mixture of Toot's postcards home on his wild adventures and Puddle's ministrations to the normality making up the wheel of the year. Toot sets off on a round-the-world trip, Puddle goes to Stopathome. Alas, such divergence in a relationship can be a sign of the end, but Toot & Puddle are independent souls and they do what they want. One piggy, Toot, he wants to see the world, travel, be an adventurous pig of action the other piggy, Puddle, wants to be a coach potato and enjoy the luxurious comforts of home. Whimsical postcards capture the excitement of Toots travels, while scenes of Puddle celebrate mundane moments spent in familiar confines. This book is about two piggies, the eponymous Toot & Puddle. We jump right in to a beautiful sunny morning where everyone is happy, except Toot, who is moping.A little while ago, my friend Roya read me this book, a favourite of hers from her childhood. The plot: Toot & Puddle You Are My Sunshine opens assuming that you know and care about the main characters, Toot and Puddle. The real Holly Hobbie has been working for over thirty years, has seven Toot & Puddle picture books, as well as a few other books here and there including the new Gem and one of my absolute favorites for girls, Fanny. She is part of a spin-off line created in 2006 called “ Holly Hobbie and Friends.” I would love to dive into my heartache at taking such a lovely hand-drawn character and mutating her into the slick and polished cartoons of present entertainment… but that is not what we are here for. In case you are wondering, the Holly Hobbie character continues to live on in her supposed “granddaughter” who is a very modern, computer-graphic animated character of blue eyes and blonde hair. This character was nameless, but soon began to be known as “Holly Hobbie” due to her creator. She is often best known for her cat-loving, rag dress-wearing little girl in a giant bonnet that appeared in the late 60s. Holly Hobbie is familiar to many, but these charming pigs may not be the image her name conjures up.
