A loving mama has fun sharing the various animals her growing child resembles, in this delightful companion to Bunny Roo, I Love You.

When you touched the water, you squawked and splashed.
I thought you'd become a duckling, so I jumped in to play with you.

It's hard to keep up with an energetic toddler, and as an adoring mom tries to, she describes all the frisky young animals her little one reminds her of--from a hopping frog and a squirming snake, to her adorable cuddly bunny.

Praise for Bunny Roo and Duckling Too

PRAISE FOR BUNNY ROO, I LOVE YOU
     "A mother's observations of her new baby lead to a series of sweet comparisons to various animals. . . . Each of the child's behaviors leads to a tender action taken by the mother. . . . A lovely package."--Kirkus
     "Marr's soothing text should prove calming for lap-sitting infants just beginning to focus on illustrations. White's watercolor and gouache artwork exhibits a cozy feel, with realistically drawn animals posed against simple, recognizable settings. This makes a good choice for one-on-one sharing or as a baby story-hour selection."--Booklist
     "Young children love to pretend they're baby animals--it's an opportunity to explore the world in new ways, while ensuring their nurturers remain close at hand. . . . White's restrained detailing, smudged colors, and frequent use of circular framings give her watercolors a vintage-looking, pastoral prettiness. It's also fun to see how the mother retains her essential 'momness' regardless of what species she assumes."--PW
