This book isn't as great as Whittingham's Wild One， which our family LOVED。 But it's a sweet， ambient book about a rainy day that makes me feel cosy just reading it。 It threw me off a bit that it didn't rhyme， because the rhythm goes along like a rhyming story。 But the repetition of the pattern makes you feel like you're there in a cosy rainy day， and even though not much happens， I and my 2。5 year old enjoyed it。 She especially loved the ducks drawn onto the final page with all of the copyright This book isn't as great as Whittingham's Wild One， which our family LOVED。 But it's a sweet， ambient book about a rainy day that makes me feel cosy just reading it。 It threw me off a bit that it didn't rhyme， because the rhythm goes along like a rhyming story。 But the repetition of the pattern makes you feel like you're there in a cosy rainy day， and even though not much happens， I and my 2。5 year old enjoyed it。 She especially loved the ducks drawn onto the final page with all of the copyright information。 。。。more

The children in this sweet picture book don't let a rainy day get them down in the dumps。 With simple， lyrical text and warm， inviting illustrations young readers get to enjoy the fun of putting on raincoats and boots， splashing in puddles， and watching the ducks play in the rain。 When the gentle rain turns into a thunderstorm， it's time to head inside for hot cocoa。 This is a lovely book that would be a cozy read aloud for inclement weather days。 It also could inspire young writers to write the The children in this sweet picture book don't let a rainy day get them down in the dumps。 With simple， lyrical text and warm， inviting illustrations young readers get to enjoy the fun of putting on raincoats and boots， splashing in puddles， and watching the ducks play in the rain。 When the gentle rain turns into a thunderstorm， it's time to head inside for hot cocoa。 This is a lovely book that would be a cozy read aloud for inclement weather days。 It also could inspire young writers to write their own rainy day stories。 。。。more

A fun "rainy day" book。 Would be a good fit for toddler tales。 Would be easy to incorporate actions （flapping， wiggling， thunderclap as a group！） A fun "rainy day" book。 Would be a good fit for toddler tales。 Would be easy to incorporate actions （flapping， wiggling， thunderclap as a group！） 。。。more

A sweet and cheerful rainy day story。

Cute and simple story， and I enjoyed the water colour/pen illustrations。 Kids liked the book。 Downside: the cover is poofy and just asking for little holes when it gets hit by another book or dropped on a toy。

A brother and sister go out one rainy day and find plenty of fun things to do！ Watercolor illustrations are bright and cheery。 Told in short phrases， this could be used as a beginning reader or during storytime with toddlers。Additional purchase for PreSchool-K。

Pretty pastel book that simply tells the story of a rainy day。 I would have liked it better if it rhymed。 Good for toddlers。

A great book about all the fun activities you can do in the rain。 I really enjoyed the after activities of warm pajamas and hot chocolate。 This would make a GREAT storytime book for a rainy day。

children's picture book （toddler/preschool）large pages w/brief text full of action and sound words， still a tiny bit too long for my wiggly baby/toddler group to sit through。 children's picture book （toddler/preschool）large pages w/brief text full of action and sound words， still a tiny bit too long for my wiggly baby/toddler group to sit through。 。。。more

Fun onomatopoetic words sprinkled throughout and sweet watercolor illustrations make for a nice addition to the pool of "rainy day" books。 Fun onomatopoetic words sprinkled throughout and sweet watercolor illustrations make for a nice addition to the pool of "rainy day" books。 。。。more

Watercolor and ink illustrations complement a sweet story showing how two siblings spend a rainy day。 After getting all geared up for the rainy weather， they venture out into nature where they observe worms and ducks and splash in the mud。 Afterwards， they return home， get dry and warm， and draw what they saw on their trip outdoors。 Of course， the sun begins to shine once again， promising even more adventures but of a different sort。 I liked the positive depiction on what to do when it rains。 Yo Watercolor and ink illustrations complement a sweet story showing how two siblings spend a rainy day。 After getting all geared up for the rainy weather， they venture out into nature where they observe worms and ducks and splash in the mud。 Afterwards， they return home， get dry and warm， and draw what they saw on their trip outdoors。 Of course， the sun begins to shine once again， promising even more adventures but of a different sort。 I liked the positive depiction on what to do when it rains。 Youngsters need not despair because there's always something fun to do， whether indoors or outdoors。 。。。more

A Good Day for Ducks brings author Jane Whittingham and illustrator Noel Tauzon back together， after their cheerful rhyming picture book debut Wild One。 Written and presented with the same sparkling liveliness as Wild One， A Good Day for Ducks is the wonderfully rhythmic， sing-song tale of siblings who show readers just how best to enjoy the rain- and how to make the most of cozy and fun indoor activities after the rain。 I enjoy children's stories that utilize sounds and noise to great effect- l A Good Day for Ducks brings author Jane Whittingham and illustrator Noel Tauzon back together， after their cheerful rhyming picture book debut Wild One。 Written and presented with the same sparkling liveliness as Wild One， A Good Day for Ducks is the wonderfully rhythmic， sing-song tale of siblings who show readers just how best to enjoy the rain- and how to make the most of cozy and fun indoor activities after the rain。 I enjoy children's stories that utilize sounds and noise to great effect- let's get the reader（s） and listener（s） toe-tapping， nodding， bouncing， clapping， etc。！- and A Good Day for Ducks does just that。 Here are a few lines， as examples: "Rain is falling， rain is pouring/Drip drop， drip drop， down it falls"/"Worms are squirming in the puddles/Wiggle squiggle， everywhere"。 It is the kind of onomatopoeic-filled text that a reader （and listener） cannot help but be inspired to join in on- whether physically acting along with the actions， or simply being a more active listener or testing out the sounds and feelings of the words。 Tuazon's illustrations have a lightness- an airiness- to them that work very well with Whittingham's rhythmical text， showing the siblings in action as well as the unruly movement of rain， puddles， and lightning。 Readers will likely find much to love in the lightheartedness that A Good Day for Ducks offers。 The combination of effective， chanting-like text （perfect short length for toddlers and up to appreciate！） with lovely， soft watercolor and ink drawings makes for another great picture book from the Canadian author and artist duo。I received a copy of this title courtesy of Pajama Press in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions and comments are my own。 。。。more
