In the rain <strong>with</strong> Baby Duck 1st ed.<br />

Review from Common Sense <strong>Media</strong>:<br />

Common Sense Review<br />

Reviewed By: Jennifer Gennari<br />

Hest, Amy. / Barton, Jill.<br />

"I do not like the rain one bit," sings Baby Duck. "Baby feathers soaking wet, I do not like this mean old day."<br />

Every kid will recognize how Baby Duck is feeling. Amy Hest has captured the dynamics of family relationships<br />

well, making this a satisfying read for the grown-ups, too.<br />

Baby's song is mistaken for a happy one by her parents. Their vain attempts to smooth over Baby's unhappiness<br />

("I've never heard of a duck who doesn't like the rain") will have adults smiling to themselves. Of course, only<br />

Gr<strong>and</strong>pa succeeds in underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> helping Baby Duck.<br />

This is a solid beginning reader. Amy Hest weaves in <strong>and</strong> repeats some words preschoolers may not know, such<br />

as dawdle <strong>and</strong> dally. When children see how Baby Duck drags, they underst<strong>and</strong> the meaning, <strong>and</strong> they learn<br />

what it means to shimmy <strong>and</strong> waddle.<br />

Children like the red bunny boots <strong>and</strong> matching umbrella, <strong>and</strong> they can tell how grumpy Baby Duck is by her<br />

expression as she lifts her feet out of the mud.<br />

Another book about splashing is Puddles, by Jonathan London.<br />

Plot Summary:<br />

Wet feet, wet face, <strong>and</strong> mud make Baby Duck grumpy. Ducks are supposed to like the rain, but not Baby Duck.<br />

Her parents' relentless efforts to cheer her up will not do. It's Gr<strong>and</strong>pa's kindness <strong>and</strong> the new boots <strong>and</strong> umbrella<br />

that do the job in this solid story.<br />
