Little Chicken Duck

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Slavin. A kindly frog helps a duckling conquer her fear of swimming by asking a variety of birds to tell her how they overcame their own fears. With its clever internal rhymes and amusing twist at the end, the jaunty poem is fun to read aloud; it delivers its message with a light touch. Painted in acrylics on gessoed paper, the textured illustrations lend the characters personality.
