Polly and Her Duck Costume by Leanne Lauricella - ESSENTIAL

Lauricella, Leanne Polly and Her Duck Costume: the True Story of a Little Blind Rescue Goat.  PICTURE BOOK.  Illustrated by Jill Howarth.  Walter Foster, Jr. (Quarto), 2017.  $18.  978-1633224186

When Polly arrived on Leanne’s rescue farm, the little blind goat was very lonely.Once she settled into her new homes, she still needed comfort and warmth.  Leanne found a cuddly, yellow duck costume that did the trick and Polly started to blossom.

Based on the true story of Leanne and Polly and the other rescued goats on her farm.  The photographs of Polly in her duck costume at the end of the book are absolutely priceless!  Reading this helps me understand why people like to sleep wth weighted blankets – but hopefully your child won’t get the idea to wear a Halloween costume all year around!
