Very simple text about a subject most kids are very familiar with, Mud. I really like how this book leads you very slowly to the idea of mud as one of the best things about spring. This could be a great book to use for inferencing with students. You would need to cover the front of the book so they don't see the title and then ask throughout the book what they think the author's message might be. Are they surprised when it get to talking about mud? Then read it a second time and see if are there any hints in the illustrations. Would they choose to name it something different? Think about their own writing and that the main idea doesn't have to hit you in the head in the first line with "I'm going to tell you about," but can instead get you there with great word choice.
