A young crocodile named Ernst and his big brother Sol set off for the beach to collect things. While Sol collects shells, rocks and feathers, Ernst would rather collect puffy clouds and colorful puddles. Full-color illustrations.
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.

• Two brothers have very different ideas about what to collect--one likes bottlecaps, the other likes...puddles
• Elisa Kleven's second book featuring Ernst, the inquisitive crocodile.
