Have You Ever Seen a Duck in a Raincoat? compares human clothing, footwear and headgear with the equivalent animal adaptations. Have you ever seen a lobster in a helmet? No? That's because lobsters don't need helmets because they have a hard shell to protect their heads and bodies. Each informational picture book in the Have You Ever Seen series uses lighthearted human-animal comparisons to teach primary-level children about animals. Reading Level: Grade K-2
A great addition to storytime line-ups (for small groups - it's relatively wee) and nonfiction shelves. Kirkus Reviews, March 2009 Cheery acrylic illustrations play the preposterous game to the hilt. The Globe and Mail, March 2009 The book is as cute and fun as that duck in its bright yellow raincoat. Quill & Quire, January 2009
