What Kind of Book is Henry Babysits
Reviews
The tale of a duck who gets himself into quite the babysitting pickle, accepting child after child into his care in order to address the needs of babies already being babysat (milk, diapers, toys, etc.) The ending was rather abrupt and left me wondering what exactly the point of the story was.
