Review

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky.

That is how Peep and Ducky feel about one another in this charming rhyming book.

Peep's mom drops him off on a rainy day at Ducky's house for a play date and they manage to find all kinds of fun in the house. Hide and Seek and pillow fights abound until they decide they are bored and head outside into the rain after they put on their boots, don their rain jackets and take an umbrella and head out the door.

It is very windy and the umbrella carries them along and into a blow-up child's pool and the umbrella turns into a boat. This is lots of fun until thunder begins to roll and they are called back inside.

Soon after Peep's mom appears to take him home. Though it is hard to part they promise to get back together soon.

Luck, Lucky, Lucky.

The illustrations are done in mixed media and are simple in dark pastel colors. Little ones will love this book! It's small size will be carried around the house and enjoyed until the book is worn out.

Overall Book Score: very good
