LoveReading4Kids Says

A bad mood gives rise to a really joyous picture book.  Duck is cross and out of sorts. She can’t paddle in the pond because it’s dry and she’s got no-one to play with.  The other animals invite her to play with them but by then she’s really sulking, so deep in her bad mood – represented by an ever-growing black cloud over her head – that she grumps at them all, spreading her tetchiness. Then finally the black cloud bursts and all the animals, led by Duck, come together for a splashy, playful, raucous rendition of Singing in the Rain. Children will understand exactly how Duck feels, while Petr Horacek’s jewel-bright, richly textured artwork is spectacularly beautiful.
