All Right Already!: A Snowy Story (Bear and Duck #4)
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade
Series: Bear and Duck

SNOW DAY! Duck is super excited and can't wait to play in the snow with his best friend, Bear.

Bear isn't excited about playing with Duck, or going out in the snow. As always, he'd rather stay inside, where it's warm and cozy.

But can Bear resist his persistent friend? If so, who will play in the snow with poor Duck?!

Award-winning duo Jory John and Benji Davies deliver yet another outrageously funny story that will, by the end, warm readers' hearts. Duck and Bear are a pair of pals who prove that best friends come in the most unexpected ways.

PreS-Gr 1--The stars of Goodnight Already!, Come Home Already!, and I Love You Already!, are back in this snowy adventure. Duck hurries to share the exciting news with his friend and neighbor, but Bear is nonplussed. He doesn't want to play freeze tag or build a fort. He doesn't want to make snow bears or go sledding. Forced participation in winter events leads to a gigantic bear sneeze. Duck insists that he care for his sick friend with blankets, soup, stories, and tea until an exasperated Bear orders him out. Then, Duck begins to cough and sniffle. Of course Duck expects his good friend Bear to take good care of him. Exuberant Duck wears a scarf and hat and always has his bill open with his next great idea. The dour Bear often wears unhappy expressions. Children will giggle at the characters' personality differences. VERDICT Purchase where the series is popular or for collections in need of new winter books.--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
