(4) K-3 I Like to Read series. When young porcupine Pip wanders off in search of fun, Mother Duck asks him to sit on her eggs--which promptly hatch. The resulting tale of mistaken maternal identity is nothing new, but the lush illustrations, awash in blues, greens, and browns, infuse this story for brand-new readers with a warmth that reflects the bond between Pip and his temporary charges.
