Stella is not excited about her baby brother. Something said by her father before her brother arrived started her thinking that her baby brother was actually a duck. But like a good scientist, she makes a hypothesis and starts to investigate. What I like about this book is the creative way it shows children misunderstanding something. But once it starts that, it doesn’t stop. So no real conclusion.

Stella has a new baby brother, but she’s pretty sure he’s not your normal baby brother. Could he, by chance, be a baby duck? Stella immediately gets busy testing her hypothesis by asking questions and gathering data. The twist ending to this book will bring on a few giggles, for sure. By the way, if you’re short on print picture books at the moment, Amazon Prime members can access this title for free right now through the Prime Reading Library. The illustrations in this book were rendered digitally.

Picture Book. This book is a new sibling book and a STEM book at the same time. Stella thinks her new brother might be a duck. Evidence: her mom waddled when pregnant, the baby is scrawny and yellow, and it's name is Drake. Stella observes, takes notes, seeks expert help, and tries to come to a firm conclusion. This book is filled with puns (scientists can't just wing it) and might be even more funny to the adults then to the kids. As Stella decides even a duck deserves a great big sister, the evidence changes in front of her. This happy and lighthearted book is sure to brighten your day.
