Synopsis

The busy Boston streets are too dangerous for eight little ducklings! But with a little help from a friendly policeman Mrs. Mallard and her family arrive safely at their new home. The public garden was no place for ducklings when they were first born, but now they are old enough to brave the raucous crowds and swim with the giant swan boats. Available for the first time in a full-size paperback edition, this Caldecott winning classic continues to delight generations of children

Children's Literature

The quaint story of the mallard family's search for the perfect place to hatch ducklings. Once the ducklings learn to walk in a straight line, they stroll past famous Boston landmarks into the Public Garden. For more than fifty years kids have been entertained by this warm and wonderful story. It has been reissued in paper and packaged with an audiotape for the current generation. 1942 Caldecott Medal.

May 14, 2007: I read this book as a child and also saw the cartoon where someone reads the book as the wonderful illustrations are shown. My child is just learning to read so I bought him the book and the video 'which includes other McClosky stories' and he reads along in the book as the video reads it to him. This is a great situation where a great kid is reading a great book as he watches and listens to a great video - learning made easy and fun. He finds this book as fun and interesting as I did as a child. More importantly, my son made the association of this book to real life when in a park early this past spring he said something to the affect of, 'The ducks and their babies swim and walk just like in that 'duck' book.'

This book brings back wonderful memories.by Anonymous

September 24, 2003: This was my favorite book as a child and I love sharing it with my children. The nostalgic illustrations as well as the story are enchanting. I read the book to my oldest son and I recently purchased another copy for my newborn. I want them each to have a copy to share with their own children. This book is a must-have for every family's library.
