In some ways this is my favorite of the series. I mean, come on, you gotta love the pigs rehearsing their interpretive dance! I found a copy at a thrift store to save for my (still hypothetical) grandkids.

Well, it looks like it's highly unlikely that I'll have grandkids. But I do know a certain young family who wants my kids' books, to out they go.
"Born to be Wild" sings the duck, of course. Like he'd last two minutes out there. Well, otoh, he's clever so he could probably con predators and unwelcoming wild ducks alike.
This time the bit that made me giggle was Farmer Brown in disguise. Again, even a toddler is in on this joke and knows that this disguise is not an effective one.… (more)

Slight, but not unworthy. Good for predictions - encourage your child to hypothesise why Duck stayed in the truck, and to predict what might get him out. Good shout-0ut to libraries and reading, too.
A silly mix of fact and fancy. Not intended to be educational (unless you want to teach the kids fact-checking skills) so no back matter. Might help get ppl less afraid of spiders, who are actually very important to both a balanced ecosystem and human comfort.
