Customer Reviews

My Son's Favorite!

Our Pediatrician's office gives books to kids at every check-up. Our son received this one at his 6 month visit & loved it from day 1-he's now 9 months old. He still reaches for this book before any others. He finds the different textures throughout the book to be very interested-- & especially loves to pet the duck's belly!

my favorite book

this is my first baby duck book. i recite it to my little baby while we walk. it warms my heart that baby duck sings her song, both in happiness and in sadness. i definitely love the linear tale that comes full circle (sorry to mix geometric metaphors). my little 10 month old really soaks in the detailed pictures and loves to feel the textures. it is certainly up there with the hungry caterpillar as an all time favorite!
