Fluffy and Baron

And now in a considerabley lighter vein a book gift from a friend.   "One summer day, someone new waddled into Baron’s life. Her name was Fluffy." Thus begins the sweet tale of a dog, a duck, and true friendship. Laura Rankin’s spare text and emotive art speaks to the heart. Based on a real-life dog and duck duo, Fluffy and Baron is a great book for children of all ages.

    I love your List of 10! It looks like really sweet book. My very favorite children's book is Dr. Suess's "Horton Hatches the Egg". I puddle up every time.

    Hello

    Sounds like a fun book

    As for the river, it is the north fork river on the way to Polebridge. Some of the rock photos were from lakes.

    Good spring to you.

    My wife has quite a few children's stories (many are Christmas stories) around the place.

    This is a great post. I love your top ten. Sometimes, it is good to read a selection from the literature out there for children. The message from these stories rings true with adults.

    Love your list!! My grandbabies enjoy this book thanks to a fellow blogger who read your previous review on your other blog. Makes me think of your Baron when we read it.

    Hey! I got a baby duck, too! Which precludes me from enjoying Peking Duck to this very day. :))

    oh! the cover is darling! I must find this book. A., Baron looks like a GSD in the illustration. B. I've always wanted to have spring ducks (just once- I hear they are very messy and once we've done it we will never do it again!)

    There are some wonderful children's books, and I never, ever got over my love of good picture books. This one sounds lovely.
