Young Dodo is out on a walk with Mom, but he seems to run into one problem after another, from his singing waking up the baby chicks, to collecting rocks that aren’t really rocks, to making friends with a skunk.  He bravely powers through all catastrophes and is rewarded with a beautiful vista when he and Mom make it to their destination.  Unfortunately one last problem awaits him when he finds the day has worn him out too much to walk home again.  The illustrations are cheerful and inviting and young readers will enjoy commiserating with someone else getting into scrapes they could probably imagine for themselves.
