Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Spring Smiles
About this ebook
It's wonderful springtime, and there are so many flowers, leaves, and seeds outside. Siblings Feather, Flap, and Spike want to explore on a sunny day. But will Spike’s sneezes make him the odd dino out? ACHOO!
In the garden, the three siblings stop to smell the flowers. Feather and Flap beam with joy, but poor Spike lets out an enormous blast. Could a tickly nose keep him from enjoying their sunny morning?
Gathering green leaves to make hats brings another loud burst, and blowing drifting seeds only scatters wishes into the breeze. Each time his brother and sister smile, a new sneeze stops Spike from joining the fun. Can the little brother find any way to share their cheerful outdoor games?
