Trouble with a Puddle is a 1999 Mopatop's Shop storybook based on the episode of the same name.

The adaptation is written by Caryn Jenner, from an original TV script by Sally-Ann Lever. The book is illustrated with photographs, which are combined with illustrated backgrounds.

It's Moosey Mouse's bath time in the attic, and his bathtub leaks down from the attic into the shop. Meanwhile, a squid named Ozzie comes into the shop, looking for a puddle to splash around in. Mopatop and Puppyduck look in the Rainy Day Box, but all they find are things to do inside on a rainy day, like drawing supplies.

The dripping water from Moosey's bathtub creates a puddle on the floor of the shop, and Ozzie is thrilled. The squid sings a splashing song as he plays in the puddle, which is echoed by Moosey's bathtub song in the attic. Mopatop wraps up the puddle for Ozzie, and then sets to work mopping up the floor.
