Newton Bear gets himself in a bit of a mess in this delightful story - Rated
with a distinct message,from Rory Tyger.

From the back cover:-

`PITTER, PATTER, PLIP, PLOP!
It's raining!
"Let's go splashing," says Newton to Snappy.
But when Newton can find only one wellington the search is on, causing the biggest mess ever!
And if that's not enough trouble, what happens when Newton discovers he has lost something much more important?....Oh, no!.......'

Newton is keen to get out and splash about but the quest is on to find an essential.....and it is not where it should be! So Newton spends a lot of time hunting for it, enlisting the help of Snappy,........turning out the contents of a cupboard in the process.......finding all sorts of `lost' items along with a smelly sock, a rubber duck......and..... eventually.....in the `deepest, darkest part of the cupboard, the missing Wellington.'
Newton is so keen to put `the clutter' back, before the puddles go away, that he throws it all back in the cupboard, in a bit of a haphazard fashion and hastily pushes the door closed!
It is only then he realises that he has lost something much more important!
So he starts the whole process, again, and ends up tidying the cupboard properly until everything is in its proper place.

Large size paperback with 24 shiny high quality pages in the popular `two-page spread' format, with clear, moderate sized text in the main.
This messy story is further enhanced by larger and emphasised text in places.
Charming illustrations throughout!

Main text example:-
"Look, Snappy!" said Newton. "Lots of big puddles to jump in. What fun! Let's go splish-splashing. I`ll get my coat and wellies and then we'll be ready."
Newton found his raincoat and umbrella hanging by the door.
The he found...
...one Wellington.
"That's strange, Snappy," he said. "I'm sure I was wearing both boots last time I went splashing! Wherever can the other one be?".......'

But, all is well that ends well and there is still time to go splashing!
