Customer Reviews

Mimic

If you have two or more children and one of the younger kids is a follower/mimic, you will love this book! My 3-year old follows her big sister everywhere, piping, "Me too!" The pictures are cute and the storyline simple enough that said 3-year old can sit and "read" it to herself. (I laughed out loud at the ending.)

just started to read?

This is a great book for those k and 1st graders who have just begun down the reading path. After having read this book with my six year old at home, i decided to type it up in script form. This is about 1 page long when typed up. It has two reading parts. We enjoyed reading this like a play. She enjoyed it so much she brought it to school and this has kept her class busy during inside recess(feb.). They are making costumes, etc. all on their own. Who knew such a simple, simple book would bring so much joy and imagination to reading.

The Chick and the Duckling

Wonderful picture book for the children to use their imagination telling the story. We use this book at Preschool. We also act it out with puppets.

Great for Early Childhood students.

This book is great for showing how chicks and ducks are the same, and different, in an entertaining way. It is an emergent reader book, that uses repetition and predictability to help young readers along. My Kindergarten class really loves this book. I've seen it in Big Book format, but can't find it here. Oh, well! Buy this one if you don't have it.

The chick copied the duckling until it sank in the water.

Ashleigh favorite part was when the chick sank. It makes me feel like I can save my friend. Ashley liked the part when the duckling dug a hole. I liked the illustrations.
