Duck Says Don’t

AUTHOR: Alison Ritchie

From the Publisher:

Goose has gone on vacation, and Duck is looking after her pond. But Duck is a bit TOO enthusiastic: “No splashing! No fishing! No racing!” he quacks. Soon, he puts up signs EVERYWHERE! “DIVING IS FORBIDDEN! (by order of Duck, in charge of the pond)” But then all his friends start leaving! Can bossy Duck figure out a way to share the pond with his friends?

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one had all my boys giggling, and it was just as fun for me to read aloud. It’s light and playful, but also opens the door to conversations about kindness and bossiness. It’s out of print, so look for it used.
