Once, when we all had to stay home for the whole long springtime,When schools were closedAnd work was closedAnd everything fun was canceled,Dad said, "Let' s take a walk. "On this walk, the family discovers two abandoned duck eggs and takes them home to wait for them to hatch. They read and learn and laugh and wait together until one day. . . Pip and Zip are born! This spirited, comforting story of family, love, and ducks will stay with you for years to come.
*Situate[d] within the context of a planet in a moment of pause. . . the story cherishes [a] small triumph amid tension and despair, ending on an upswing that parallels [two ducks' ] release with a second venturing-out ' into the great blue world. ' - Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA world, closed up and waiting, sometimes holds small miracles. . . Friendly, cartoon, full-color illustrations offer the right amount of detail for the story, from a montage of the family waiting by the incubator to the flock of ducks in the sunshine. - Kirkus Pleasing, first-person text focuses on the children' s fascination with the eggs and the ducklings. Digitally colored pencil drawings skillfully illustrate the story, and the later scenes on the lake are particularly fine. This rewarding picture book reads aloud well and could lead to worthwhile discussions. - Booklist Salati' s warmly colored illustrations capture a loving, caring family -- and community -- during an uncertain, scary time, and he draws ducks really, really well. - Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
