Book Description

February 9, 2004 2 and up
Turn the graduated pages of this unique shaped book to help Duckie find her way home — and you’ll marvel at the dazzling rainbow that appears when she gets there.

Duckie is in a hurry to get home. She walks through a red poppy field, hops under an orange bridge, waddles around a yellow cornfield, rushes past a big green tree, and paddles across a deep blue pond. By the time she reaches her nest, purple clouds have begun to rain, but don’t worry — the book’s rounded pages, each one smaller than the last, form a spectacular rainbow on the last spread! With the boldest of colors and enchantingly simple shapes, Frances Barry’s collage illustrations combine with an ingenious format for an eye-popping concept-book debut.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS–Duckie is hurrying home to her nest. On the way she encounters a field of red poppies, an orange bridge, yellow corn, and more. This deceptively simple, fan-shaped concept book is wonderfully creative. Each spread adds its color to an arc at the top of the page; at the end, Duckie sees a beautiful rainbow. The pages are graduated so that when opened the book is a half-circle showing the rings of color. The collage art is basic and the hues are bright. Duckie will appeal to preschoolers, especially toddlers, and be a great addition to storytimes.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

About the Author

Frances Barry says the idea for DUCKIE'S RAINBOW came to her "on the top deck of a London bus. Not that I saw a rainbow, but I’ve always found it a great place to brainstorm with a sketchbook! I named the character Duckie because it was a term of endearment my great-aunt used for everyone." Frances Barry has worked as a designer of greeting cards and stationery and has painted several public and private murals. This is her first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars we LOVE duckie's rainbow, March 14, 2004
By 
"manena_123" (brooklyn ny usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duckie's Rainbow (Hardcover)
Duckie's rainbow is as delicious a visual treat for the adult as it is entertaining and fun for the child. The duck itself has such charm and charisma and my 15 month old takes true delight in identifying it on each page.It's really good for learning/teaching colors but in a totally fresh way and the surprise rainbow at the end of the book is a fantastic grand finale. Frances Barry is a real artist.

3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BASIC COLORS OF THE RAINBOW BOOK ; ), April 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Duckie's Rainbow (Hardcover)
This is a Cute but basic book. It teaches colors beyond the basics. It teaches the colors of the rainbow as the duck makes his way through the book. Very Cute! 3/4 out of 5. Not too many rainbow books out there.
