Customer Reviews

You're OK Baby Duck

I'm with Reviewer #2. In our house, we now sometimes call our 2-year-old dog "Baby Duck" because of his rivalry issues, and my 5-month-old son "Hot Stuff." It's a really cute book, deserves 4 stars at least, and the treatment of Baby Duck's eventual acceptance of her little sister is subtle, but I think a child would get it.

Cute, like the rest

I'm writing this review mostly to counter-balance the review below, which is pretty harsh. The book is cute, like the rest in the series, and this one does a good job of reassuring older siblings that they won't be forgotten because of the fuss over the new baby. I don't think it's really worth five stars, you understand, but I don't think it should get an average of only one, either. Frankly, any book that (1) amuses my son, and (2) doesn't have me trying to skip pages to get to the end is OK by me. Honestly: three stars.
