When Peep visits Ducky on a rainy day, the little friends have no trouble finding things to do. Inside, theres a tent to build and a pillow fight to be had. And outside, with the help of galoshes and umbrella, its 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.
Totally in tune with toddlers, this snappy read-aloud gets it right.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Once again, these two buddies provide a concise, realistic portrait of the ups, downs, and compromises inherent to friendship.
Publishers Weekly
This makes a perfect read-aloud for story hours or lapsits, especially for preschoolers just beginning to navigate friendship interactions.
Booklist Online
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.
