Book Reviews of Make Way for Ducklings
Book Review: Make Way for Duckllings is truly a Cauldecott Medal Winner.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cauldecott Medal is given to those childrens' books with outstanding illustrations. In "Make Way for Ducklings" Robert McCloskey has captured the personalities of Mr. and Mrs. Mallard's brood of duclkings from first hatch to the time they must go from the Charles River to the Boston Gardens. He has created the setting for a wonderful introduction to the world of ducks in the big city, and this book gives the reader the opportunity to ask questions about how birds really raise their families, or where exactly is Boston? So, it presents an opportunity to discuss nature, geography, birds, or even the hazards of living in a big city, when you are a duck. I used this book when I taught 2nd grade as an introduction to a bird unit. I also read it to my own children, over and over. A most higly recommended piece of children's literature!Book Review: A Classic Favorite!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A heartwarming story of a mallard family raising their ducklings in Boston Gardens. The illustrations are beautiful and bring life to the mallards and the cheery policeman who stops all the traffic to let the ducks cross. It was a favorite of mine growing up...I still have the original book my mom bought me when I was 5. Every kid should read this book!!Book Review: Truly a children's classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a favorite of mine when I was
young and was featured reading on Captain
Kangaroo. A delightful tale of Mallards raising
their brood and a look at city life from a birds-eye
point of view. You'll be rooting for this duck
family as they snarl traffic on an outing to the park.
This is a story that's everying it's "quacked" up
to be
