Just Right!

Just Right! is an outstanding read aloud. The story begins with five ducks who are building something, but we don't yet know what it is. As the ducks work, they hear a ""Honk."" As the pages turn, more birds arrive to help the ducks and the musical sounds increase with honks, whoops, whooshes, taps and hums. Children will love participating as the sounds repeat and increase as the pages turn. Though each visiting bird thinks it cannot help because of some ""problem,"" such as being too loud, too tall, too big, or too small, the ducks find the perfect job for each bird. Children will enjoy the colorful illustrations and the action pictured on each page. Just Right! will become a favorite read-aloud in the classroom and during story times at the public library. Educators and librarians will appreciate the bird activities listed on the last page which will extend the learning process in a fun way. Highly recommended. Desiree Webber, M.L.I.S. librarian and author of The Buffalo Train Ride With lovely illustrations, Just Right! follows five little ducks to a building project. Several other birds join them, each wanting to volunteer their ""tools"" and unusual talents. Children, parents, and teachers will love reading this book and engaging in the included list of activities. Anita Wadley Schlaht, M.
