With irresistible art and a timeless message,I Can Help in the Neighborhood shows how one act of kindness can lead to another - capturing the joy of paying it forward. Uh oh. Duck is lost. Luckily, Rabbit is around to help! Rabbit hops over the tall grass to reunite the lost duckling with their family. But soon, Rabbit needs help, too. We also meet a pigeon, raccoon, and many more animal friends, who all find themselves in tight spots around the neighborhood. But don't worry, there's always an animal friend ready to lend a hand! Don't miss the first book in the series: I Can Help!
"The repeating refrain of "I can help" will reassure readers and is simple enough to be triumphantly parroted by the youngest of storytime audiences. Whether depicting a verdant park or moonlit city scenes, Costello's artwork sets a soothing tone." --Kirkus
"A good title for story hours with young children as well as a sweet choice for beginning readers... A simple but winning story of cooperation, kindness, and the importance of being willing to lend a paw." --School Library Journal
