From an author whose work is said to “burgeon with joy,” here is a gentle mystery about a silent, gallant lion and a sweetly cheerful bird—two friends who are attracted to each other through the universal language of art. Elisa uses watercolor, gouache, ink, colored pencils, pastels, markers, and crayons to collage this charming and colorful tale. “Illustrated with mixed-media collages so richly colored and textured that readers will want to feel the pages.”—Kirkus Reviews (pointered review) “A sweet and captivating book with gorgeous illustrations. Its story line and artwork both have unusual and unexpected qualities that work together to generate a magical, light mood.”—School Library Journal (starred review) ABA-CBC Children’s Books Mean Business and Kansas State Reading Circle

Review "Kleven speaks confidently to the everyday emotional ups and downs in the lives of children. Her forceful paint and collage compositions are kinetic fiestas of color and texture..." --starred, Publishers Weekly "There is not a wrong note in this wonderful, upbeat picture book." -- Booklist, starred review

Elisa Kleven's beloved little blue crocodile, Ernst, stars in this story about two brothers. While sensible Sol collects things like feathers and shells, Ernst has a more whimsical approach: He wants to collect puddles and all they reflect--clouds, stripes, colors, and stars. Ernst's imagination soars once he begins his amazing collection.

<li>Two brothers have very different ideas about what to collect--one likes bottlecaps, the other likes...puddles! </li>
<li>Elisa Kleven's second book featuring Ernst, the inquisitive crocodile. </li>
<li>Previous editions sold 28,000 copies</li>
<li>Will appeal to budding naturalists and collectors.</li>
