A young boy weighs the pros and cons of possessing various
animal appendages—such as a duck''s feet, a deer''s antlers, a
whale''s spout, an elephant''s trunk, and a long, long tail—only to
decide that he''s better off just being himself. A zany, insightful
story that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again!
內容簡介:
Another silly title from the Beginner Books series the same
place that Dr. Seuss and the Berenstains hang their hats, I Wish
That I Had Duck Feet follows one little guy''s dreams of borrowing
all sorts of useful appendages from the animal world. "I wish that
I had duck feet. And I can tell you why. You can splash around in
duck feet. You don''t have to keep them dry." But each time he
imagines something new--those duck feet, a prickly pair of deer
horns perfect for playing football, a spraying whale spout to keep
his classroom cool--he realizes that it''s not always all it''s
cracked up to be. "BUT... If I had a long, long tail, I know that
Big Bill Brown would tie me in a tree! He would! Then how would I
get down?" A vacuuming mom and pipe-smoking dad are straight out of
''60s suburbia Duck Feet first came out in 1965, but the playful
illustrations and catchy rhymes still make for good fun. Ages 4 to
8
