Peep and Ducky Rainy Day
Picture Books
“Totally in tune with toddlers, this snappy read-aloud gets it right.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
When Peep visits Ducky on a rainy day, the little friends have no trouble finding things to do. Inside, there’s a tent to build and a pillow fight to be had. And outside, with the help of galoshes and umbrella, it’s fun to captain a boat — until a whoosh of wind and a clap of thunder send them running back in! Perfectly tuned to a toddler sensibility, this exuberant tale will enchant both listener and reader.

Children will have fun looking at the pictures and the text works well as a one-on-one read or as a selection for a rain-themed storytime.
