# Pip and Zip - Hardcover

by **Elana K. Arnold** (Author), **Doug Salati** (Illustrator)

**A family finds two abandoned duck eggs and are in for a big (and very cute) surprise in this story that is reminiscent of LeUyen Pham's _Outside Inside_, from award-winning author Elana K. Arnold and charmingly illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner Doug Salati.**

_Once, when we all had to stay home for the whole long springtime,_  
_When schools were closed_  
_And work was closed_  
_And everything fun was canceled_

_After we were all so bored of TV_  
_And computers_  
_And video games_  
_And screens of every kind_

_Dad said, "Let's take a walk."_

On this walk, the family discovers two abandoned duck eggs and takes them home to wait for them to hatch.

They read and learn and laugh together until one day...

Pip and Zip are born!

This spirited, comforting story of family, love, and ducks will stay with you for years to come.
