Excellent Book

When Mandy and James are playing near the pond they find a duck nest, but only one egg is still warm which means that one is still alive. Mandy decides to try to hatch the duckling and make a diary/journal about everyday with the duckling, which she names Dillon.This is an excellent book for readers 10 and under.

Finally they found Dillon.

In this book, Duckling Diary, Dillon the duck gets lost but is found. I like the part when every one was happy to see Dillon, like this:" Mandy went shopping and Dillon got out of his cage and went in the green-house. Mandy got back and Dillon was gone. She searched, and searched. Mrs. Todd was right, everyone was pleased to see Dillon home at last. And Mandy was right too. Dillon was the most famous duck in Wellford", and that was my favorite part.

Excellent Book for Young Readers

This is a wonderful book about a young girl (Mandy) and a duckling (Dillon) she raised from birth. I found the content of the book excellent for young readers.
