Too Many Murkles by Heidi Charissa Schmidt (author), Mary Gregg Byrne (illustrator)
ach spring, the people of Summerville gather to prevent the dreaded Murkles from entering their village. Unfortunately, this year there are more of the strange, smelly creatures than ever. When Juliana allows one little Murkle to waddle into town, she witnesses something truly amazing. She now knows exactly what to do, but will the mayor listen?
This intriguing story tells of a young girl who helps the townspeople understand that their Murkle problem – and others that soon follow – are actually blessings in disguise.
Mary Gregg Byrne’s playful illustrations add whimsy to Heidi Schmidt’s imaginative tale of good things that arrive in unusual packages.
