Customer Reviews

Q: How hard can it be to babysit one sleeping baby?

A: A lot harder than Henry the Duck thinks it will be! It's not literary platinum, yet enjoyable. Henry as usual gets a bit carried away in his circumstances and ends up babysitting a lot more than one sleeping baby! Kids will like the silly story. Parents will recognize the truth about caring for small people--it can be exhausting, even when it doesn't look like you did much that day!

It is just the funniest book.

It is a funny way for a bachelor duck to learn to take care of a baby by neighbors bringing their baby alligator, monkey, cat, and the ducks.
