K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Joe Mathieu.
Story by Lori Haskins Houran. Just as duck Max is feeling useless, demanding aunts Pat, Dot, and Flo arrive. Max is eager to help, but he quickly finds himself exhausted. After the visit he's grateful for some rest--and for Irene's anticipation of his needs. The story, with its familiar cartoon illustrations, isn't as gleefully zany as Urbanovic's picture books, but it will still make new readers giggle.
