Little Duck Lost

Erica Briers. Dutton Books, $15.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-525-47232-2

New interactive titles celebrate spring and feature chicks and ducks just right for holiday baskets. The delicately embossed Little Duck Lost by author Erica Brier, illus. by Stephanie Boey (illustrator of The Little Penguin, also embossed), uses slightly raised borders, feathers, flora and fauna to highlight and bring texture to this touching story of a newborn duckling seeking his home. The embossing of the sturdy cardboard pages and detailed colored-pencil drawings lend a unique aspect to the book.
