Description

In this snowy day picture book, a kindhearted but overeager duckling tries to be helpful by sharing Wuddles the sheep's wool to make sure all their animal friends stay warm--but will there be enough for Wuddles?

Snow is coming, and the barnyard animals are preparing for the cold. Duckling has an excellent idea! Fleecy Wuddles the sheep has plenty of wool to keep everyone nice and toasty. Surely Wuddles doesn't mind sharing? Soon there's a goat in legwarmers, piglets in onesies, and more! But will this outpouring of generosity leave Wuddles himself out in the cold? Not to worry--Duckling has one final, absolutely heartwarming idea!

Critical Reviews

"Mellow watercolors ooze old-fashioned charm, with monotone barn backgrounds contrasting with bright pops of color from the lively, charismatic barnyard animals. With raucous stream-of-consciousness narration, the duckling is both hero and villain, and the story's a kick to read aloud. . . Adorable. Readers will flock to this barnyard charmer. --Kirkus Reviews

"Duckling's energy is comically propulsive, and watercolor and pencil illustrations by Judge (Forty Winks) are downright luscious, rendered in creamy whites, warm browns, butter yellows, and blush pinks." --Publishers Weekly

"Readers will quickly catch on and enjoy guessing what the duckling decides to make for each successive animal . . . Judge's mastery of the expressive animal face is on full display. No worries here."--Horn Book Magazine
