[LM_NET] ELEM: BOOK REVIEW: Duck Tents by Lynne Berry

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Duck Tents by Lynne Berry, illustrated by Hiroe Nakata. Holt, 2009. 
978-0-8050-8696-6

Berry's five charming ducks, who have previously dunked and skated 
their way into many hearts (mine included) return here to take a 
camping and fishing trip.  Setting up tents proceeds succesfully as 
do the initial fishing endeavors.  However, the weight of the "big 
one that got away" proves too much for even five little ducks joining 
forces.  No worries, though.  A blazing campfire warms up the soaking 
wet ducks and provides an alternate use for those fishing 
poles.  Toasted marshmallows, anyone?  The adventure closes with a 
dark-night scare but a five-duck-pig-pile in one tent calms all 
fears.  Nakata's delightful watercolor and ink illustrations add to 
the fun of this spring title, released just in time for summer 
camping and fishing adventures! Suggested Grades: PreK-Second ~ Toni
