Pip and Zip

Ages 3 to 6

A family finds two abandoned duck eggs and are in for a big (and very cute) surprise in this story for fans of LeUyen Pham's Outside Inside, from award-winning author Elana K. Arnold and charmingly illustrated by Doug Salati.

Once, when we all had to stay home for the whole long springtime,

When schools were closed

And work was closed

And everything fun was canceled,

Dad said, “Let’s take a walk.”

On this walk, the family discovers two abandoned duck eggs and takes them home to wait for them to hatch.

They read and learn and laugh and wait together until one day...

Pip and Zip are born!

This spirited, comforting story of family, love, and ducks will stay with you for years to come.
