Overview / 简介: |
Henry Marie wants a pet so badly, she can almost taste it. She would be happy with a pony, or a kitten, or even a baby brother. But her parents always have some excuse: They can't keep a pony in their neighborhood. A kitten would make Henry and her father sneeze. Her parents keep pointing out that they do have a dog. But Scout is her father's and Scout's slow and, well, boring. He won't chase a ball or anything What Henry wants -- what Henry needs -- is a pet of her very own. Just when she has about given up hope, Henry's father comes home with a fuzzy little yellow head and a rosy beak peeking out of the top pocket of his overalls. Henry immediately falls in love with the duckling's sweet, smiling face and gives her the prettiest name she can think of: Rosalie. And that's when the trouble begins.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 2-4–In this warmhearted beginning chapter book, eight-year-old Henry has a craving for someone or something to call her own, whether it is a kitten, a horse, or a little sister. Her dream comes true when her father rescues a baby duck. The duckling is named the most beautiful name that Henry knows, Rosalie. Despite educating herself on the specific needs and behaviors of ducks, she soon learns that taking care of one is not easy. She is confronted with ducky temper tantrums, house training, and eventually the unavoidable of what to do when Rosalie grows up. An affectionate story with large print, black-and-white illustrations, short chapters, and an easy-to-follow story line.– Christine McGinty, Newark Public Library, NY |
