⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun in the Mud: A Wetlands Tale by Sally Bolger is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces readers to the wonders of wetlands. The story revolves around Jack and Mini, two playful fairies who reside in the wetlands. Through their eyes, the readers get to explore the fascinating world of wetlands and learn interesting facts about it.

The author has done an excellent job of blending fantasy with real-world information about wetlands. The readers will be delighted to join Jack and Mini as they attend frog pond sing-alongs, swim with smolts, and watch Pickleweed Parade. The pace of the story is perfect, allowing readers to savor every moment spent in this magical world.

The illustrations are soft, colorful and beautifully bring the story to life. Children will love looking at them while adults will appreciate their artistic details.

Overall, Fun in the Mud: A Wetlands Tale is a charming book that combines education with entertainment flawlessly. It's perfect for young children who love nature or have an interest in learning about it. I highly recommend it as a gift for a young buddy naturalist or anyone who loves fun-filled stories with a touch of magic.
