About The Book
Henry the Duck is a very good neighbor. Even though he has never babysat, when his friend Clara asks him to watch her nephew he says yes. How hard can it be? But then, one neighbor after another asks Henry to babysit and before he knows it, he’s in the middle of five crying, crawling, out-of-control babies!
Children and parents alike will love following disaster-prone Henry through his adventures in childcare, cleverly written and illustrated by Robert Quackenbush.
