He follows big footprints down a path, and though other animals warn him that the footprints are too big, he still "hopped, skipped, jumped, and skittered down the path looking for his very, very big friend." Eventually, Peepsqueak rides back to the farm on top of his new friend, a "great big bear!!!" and yells "We are 2!" which is a reoccurring pairs theme in the vividly colored book.
Little Peepsqueak is a fearless chick that finds himself on a search for a friend when all the rest of the chicks play one day in pairs. "Peepsqueak Wants a Friend" by Leslie Ann Clark HarperCollins 32 pages $15.99.
The names of the ducklings, Pippin, Bippin, Tippin, Dippin, "and last of all Little Joe," add personable charm to the lovely story, full of gentle danger, heroic rescue and heartwarming mother love. A true rescue story, Moore's telling captures all the retro vintage appeal of McCloskey's classic, with a darling writing approach that young children will cherish. Happily, all are rescued, thanks to three firemen and a tow-truck driver, who lift the drain off the street, capturing the ducklings in a bucket and allowing Mama Duck to cross the street safely. In this endearing, seeming salute to Robert McCloskey's "Make Way for Ducklings," a mama duck and her five ducklings are happily out for a walk one day when, one-by-one, they fall into a storm drain.
