Peep and Ducky Rainy Day

Description

When Peep visits Ducky on a rainy day, the little friends have no trouble finding things to do. Inside, there's a tent to build and a pillow fight to be had. And outside, with the help of galoshes and umbrella, it's fun to captain a boat - until a whoosh of wind and a clap of thunder send them running back in! Perfectly tuned to a toddler sensibility, this exuberant tale will enchant both listener and reader.
