    Peep and Ducky Rainy DayPeep and Ducky Rainy Day

    Written by David Martin

    Illustrated by David M. Walker

    Publisher’s Synopsis: What has more play potential than a rainy day? Peep and Ducky return in a splashy story that begs to be read aloud.

    When Peep visits Ducky on a rainy day, the little pals have no trouble finding things to do. Inside, there is a tent to build and a pillow fight to be had. And outside, with the help of galoshes and umbrella, it’s fun to captain a boat—until a whoosh of wind and a clap of thunder sends them running back in! Perfectly tuned to a toddler sensibility, this exuberant tale will enchant both listener and reader.

    Is it Warm Enough for Ice CreamIs it Warm Enough for Ice Cream?

    Written by DK

    Publisher’s Synopsis: A simple and fun introduction to beginner science, covering the themes of weather, temperature, plant life, and the animal kingdom.

    Winter, spring, summer, and fall are each represented by a vibrant outdoor scene revealing seasonal changes, from ponds freezing over, to baby birds leaving their nests for the first time. And with changes in weather come new things to try: it’s windy enough to fly a kite and spin pinwheels; it’s rainy enough to splash in puddles, use an umbrella, and search for worms; it’s snowy enough to build a snowman, go sledding, and drink hot chocolate. But is it warm enough for ice cream? When we reach the bright sun of the summer spread, we hear the answer: Yes it is!
