Storytime!





Today we read two stories about ducks and foxes, and how to keep from being eaten! The first story was "Don't Fidget a Feather!", by Erica Silverman. Duck and Gander are very competitive, but when a staring contest almost gets them cooked, Duck discovers that sometimes losing is the only way to win.

Next was "Wow! It's Great Being a Duck", by Joan Rankin. Little Lillee is the last duckling to crack out of her shell, and she's the tiniest and skinniest of all her brothers and sisters. She's terrified of flying and swimming, and decides to go walking instead - until an encounter with a scary stranger teaches her the value of her native abilities.
