PEEP and DUCKY RAINY DAY

(illustrated by David Walker)
(Candlewick Press)

Peep and Ducky are back again. This time it’s raining, it’s pouring, but they’re not snoring. They‘re splashing in their boots, riding an airborn umbrella that turns into a boat and escaping – WHEW! – a thunderstorm. Lucky, lucky, lucky as always.

THE MORE THE MERRIER

SKELLY’S HALLOWEEN

Skelly isn’t alone in this adventure. He’s got a snake, ants, a chicken and a team of children to help put his scattered bones together again. And that’s good because it’s Halloween, and Skelly really wants to go trick-or-treating.
