Book Reviews of Make Way for Ducklings
Book Review: A delightful Story
Summary: 5 Stars
A very delightful story with magnificent illustrations. I believe that children as well as adults of all ages will enjoy reading about Mrs.Mallard and how she finds the perfect home for her family.Book Review: A classic that today's kids still really love
Summary: 5 Stars
Classics get to be that way for a reason, because they are great books! My sons just love this book, as I did as a child. The wonderful story of how Mr. and Mrs. Mallard found a home is really fun to read. I also like it that this book is set in the city---it's hard to find good picture books for city dwelling kids. Many kid's book seem to assume that everyone lives in idealized suburbia. My older son loves the names of the ducklings---kids getting close to reading seem to love to play with rhymes, and it's fun to say Jack, Kack, Lack and on up to Quack! I wish you happy reading of this one!Book Review: A Home for Ducklings
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought the book was a great book for children, parents and teachers. It is a book that could allow children to see the love, and time spent by parents in choosing a home for a family. The relationship that the ducks have with officer Micheal is a wonderful lesson for children to learn about the people in their community that could help them in a time of trouble or someone that could just become a great friend.Book Review: A Classic Every Child Should Hear!
Summary: 5 Stars
McCloskey's books were read to me as a child, and I loved them. This book was a favorite of mine as a library media specialist and is now a favorite of my children as well. I had the opportunity to meet the author and hear him tell of observing live ducklings in his studio/apt. when he was doing the illustrations because he wanted to draw them accurately. Children whom I've shared it with (they number in the 1000s)love the delightful rhyming names of the ducklings. I've given it as a gift many times as well! Enjoy!Book Review: A book to grow up with!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was very young, I recall my teacher's reading this book to me in school. Years later I surprised my husband with it when he was accepted to Harvard Business School in Boston, Mass. If you are ever in Boston, stop by "the Mallard's" Public Garden to ride the swan boats and to see the beautiful copper statues of the Mallard family. Each Mother's Day, Boston has a Duck Parade where children and parents dress up like ducks and walk the route Mrs. Mallard walked. It is an enchanting event for a young reader!
This is a wonderful book which takes place in a fabulous city!
