Twenty-Odd Ducks: Why, every punctuation mark counts!
Lynne Truss

Putnam Juvenile, 2008

Commas and apostrophes aren’t the only punctuation marks that can cause big trouble if they’re put in the wrong place. Now, Truss and Timmons put hyphens, parentheses, quotation marks, periods, and more in the spotlight, showing how which marks you choose and where you put them can cause hilarious mix-ups.

I loved this book!
I read it cover to cover. We will be starting our little farm in 2009, so I have been collecting pertinent reference material. It REALLY spurred my enthusiasm for raising our own food. Now on to "Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game"...

"WITH A QUACK QUACK HERE, AND A QUACK QUACK THERE."
If you're having trouble choosing a candidate in this election year, Duck's your man or more properly "your duck." "Duck is Great for 2008!" In this delightful children's story our hero may be a winner but he was once a very dissatisfied duck. He lived on a farm with many other animals and Farmer Brown. Each of the animals had a chore, and Duck thought farm work was terribly hard. So, ...

Make Way for Ducklings (Viking Kestrel Picture Books)

Viking Juvenile, 1941

A must before going to Boston
Prior to a planned trip to Boston, I purchased Make Way For Ducklings for my grandchildren who were three and a half and five and a half at the time. Their mom was running in the Boston Marathan. Knowing that we would be taking them to the Public Gardens and they would see the "ducklings"..this was a perfect history lesson written so well for little ones and adults to learn...Highly recommended

The Story about Ping (Reading Railroad Books)

Grosset & Dunlap, 2000

Ping - an old story still as popular today
I purchased this book because I had lost the school library's copy and it was my husband's favourite book as a child. When it arrived I read it to every class from Kindergarten to year six and they all loved it. It was a good lead into the Beijing Games but it also led into a study of cormorants, river dwelling, mapping,relationships and counting.I can highly recommend this ageless story.

Enslaved by Ducks

Bob Tarte

Algonquin Books, 2004

Great Book
Enslaved by ducks is hilarious. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever had (or wants) a lot of pets. It is a quick read and I found myself laughing out loud many times with others wondering what was so funny. Bob Tarte certainly captures the essence of the different personalities of the species he happens to be writing about at the time whether it be bunnies, ducks, geese, or parrots. ...

good book
My 13yr old son was like "what is this" when he found this book I had purchased for him. Hours later he was still absorbed. He said it was a great read and very interesting.

Q Is for Duck: An Alphabet Guessing Game

Michael Folsom, Mary Elting

Clarion Books, 2005

Imagination, Need I say More?
I did a story hour project for my Children's Literature class and this is one of the books I read to them. They really enjoyed it because it kept them guessing what the letters stood for. This book helps the child to expand their imagination because this book is not the usual alphabet books that says "A is for Apple". This book expands that horizon by incorporating the sounds the animals ...

Thanksgiving book
My 3 year old granddaughter loved this book. She quickly caught onto the rhyming of the book and could finish the lines by looking at the illustrations. The book is predictable but, in using the Thanksgiving theme, makes for an interesting book.

10 Little Rubber Ducks

20 reviews

HarperCollins, 2005

Two thumbs up...one big and one small
In July of 2003, award-winning children's author and illustrator Eric Carle saw an article about a 1992 shipment of rubber ducks that fell off of a ship and traveled throughout the world. Well, he just couldn't resist writing a book about those toys. And in that book, he tells the story from their manufacture, through their loss, and on to the adventures that the ten little rubber ducks had. ...

Life-saving lessons
This is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers and coaches. Stewie the Duck is one of the few books available that addresses drowning, one of the most significant injury-related risks our children face. The authors teach children critical survival skills in a loving, age-appropriate, and fun way. Children really enjoy the CD, and being able to incorporate music makes the lessons fun and ...

What's Up, Duck?

6 reviews

Schwartz & Wade, 2008

Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too
As a huge fan of Tad Hills and his Duck and Goose characters, WHAT'S UP, DUCK? was an absolute delight! At only twenty-two sturdy board pages, this is a perfect first reader, but it's also a great book to read with your toddler. Along with the typical opposites of up, down and slow, fast, there are also my favorites -- clean, dirty and heavy, light. The illustrations are what make this ...

Curious George and the Dumptruck

Houghton Mifflin, 1999

A family favorite
My 3 year old loves Curious George books and all kinds of heavy equipment so combining the two means it's one of his favorite books, and just like George he is always curious especially about George and why he is doing what he is doing. In our house both my 3 year old and 17 month old would sooner read about Curious George than watch tv.
