am I the only one that thinks that sounds dodgy? One last thing, their home, Woodcock Pocket. 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. It's a delightful book for younger children, not too young, 4-7 perhaps - or 36 year old men. 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. This book is about two piggies, the eponymous Toot & Puddle. A little while ago, my friend Roya read me this book, a favourite of hers from her childhood.
