Bear and Duck by Katy Hudson*

Bear is tired of being a bear.  When he spies Duck and her line of ducklings, he decides he will become a duck.  Although she is uncertain about the success rate, she proceeds to teach Bear how to be a duck.  The reader will delight in the sweet, humorous pictures as Bear attempts Duck's suggestions.
This book was fun to read aloud to my kindergartner!  A book I am considering purchasing.
As I was reading it aloud, I was mentally changing it into a Reader's Theater.  Perfect book to use when introducing fluency!
Loved the illustrations-especially the characters' facial expressions and the wildflowers!!
Strategies: fluency-reading with expression/reading punctuation/read it like the character or to reflect the mood of the story, character development, predicting
**Highly recommend.
