 Great, timeless classic September 9, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
What a great book! What's funny is that when I read this as a child, I didn't like it because of the illustrations - they're not in color. The renderings are done in brown pencil which was something I didn't care for as a child. However, now that I've rebought it for my child, I realize what a great story this is! We just love it in our house - seeing Mr. and Mrs. Mallard trying to find just the right home to have their children. It's just so very cute watching the little ducklings cross the street with the policemen helping them. My little one asks to read this book almost nightly. It's very well done and a classic, no doubt there. Highly recommend!
A must-have! August 14, 2005

My 5-year old son really enjoyed this book. His favorite parts were "the way they took care of the babies [ducklings] and the way the got fed peanuts" [by the people in the swan boats]. Of course, you can't go wrong with a Caldecott Award book.

This is a wonderful, timeless children's tale. The story is engaging, the art is delightful. I loved this book when I was small, and I give it constantly to all of the children in my life. Every parent who knew the book growing up is delighted to see it again, and the parents who are discovering it for the first time all enjoy it. This is a book you can read to children over and over and never tire of.

I like this book because when they were crossing the street, there was lots of noise. It was fun reading this book. It taught me something: take good care of the ducklings. The thing that I did not like was the names of the ducklings and the mom,dad. I like how they drew the pictures. I like how they wrote this book.
A charming classic May 3, 2004

What can I say that everyone else hasn't already? This is probably one of the finest children's books ever written. Its illustrations are richly detailed and vivid even in two-tone, and its story is adorable and wholesome. We're FROM Boston and we've recently moved away, and my little boy always thrills to recognize the Boston Gardens he remembers, but set in times past. The story is sneakily very educational, integrating in plain English information about the migration, mating and molting habits of ducks into an engaging and whimsical story about a mother duck taking care of her own. It also teaches about counting, nature observation, social studies (explaining the different jobs of a police officer) and alphabetization (The names of the ducklings will never fail to make your little one giggle.) We've had it for two years, and it remains one of my son's favorite bed time stories. Truly a classic that belongs in any child's library.
