Giggle, Giggle, Quack
The farmer goes on vacation, leaving his brother in charge, with written instructions. But duck has the typewriter and replaces the instructions with his own notes. So the animals all get pizza ordered, have a movie night, and the pigs have a bubble bath in the house. When the farmer calls to check on things, he’s appalled to hear all the animals sniggering in the background!

Click, Clack, Quack to School
The farmer gets invited to visit a local school, and the animals invite themselves along. They’re all very excited. The farmer sternly tells them school is a place to be serious and calm. Chastised, the animals put on their best behavior. They happen to arrive at the school during recess time, and the animals are delighted to drop their calm demeanor and romp on the playground with the children- who are just as rowdy! (Except for the mice, who read graphic novels in the shade under the slide, ha).

It’s the duckling’s birthday, so the farmer and all the animals are throwing a party. Little duck has never been to a party and doesn’t know what to expect. He watches how the other animals prepare: duck takes a bath, cat washes herself with her tongue, the sheep get a haircut, the hens have a dust bath, and the pigs! Well, they get refreshed in the a mud spa. Little duckling copies them all- and by the time the party is starting, he’s in quite a state! Funny.

Both borrowed from the public library. Very silly, I’m sure kids love these.

This is one thing I miss from reading ebooks only: Picture books! I know there are some out there with cute stories, like these.
Yeah. Some are really funny and cute like this one. And there’s some really beautiful and well-written ones too- I have more coming up here that I read right after my concussion when I couldn’t focus on tons of small text on a page yet. I don’t like that about my kindle either- that it really sucks for reading graphic novels on- and sometimes that’s the only format available to me at the library (e-book).
