4.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed that the new version added words!, June 30, 2002

This review is from: Find the Duck (Find it board books) (Board book)

If you were lucky enough to purchase this and the other books of this very unique children's series before 2000, then you got the version without words. I found this endearing because the books characters and the action taken by the little one reading the book needed no words to prompt him or her. Unfortunately the new version has words to accompany the pictures and kind of ruins it for me. Instead of "Find the Duck" it should be called "Your Mommy will read the words and tell you where the duck is!" And they also changed the size of the book (its now bigger and too heavy for the 2-4 age range of the book) and added color backgrounds to the covers. I still think the series makes a good gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wordless little board book that is perfect for a toddler., March 26, 2000

This review is from: Find the Duck (Find it board books) (Board book)

This small book is part of a group of Find the Animal books. Our 16 month old really enjoyed Find the Kitten, so we bought several others in the series. The books are so well-make and inexpensive that they are really quite bargains. This one is especially appropriate for toddlers who can't talk much but love to point when a parent says, "Where IS that duck, anyway?" It is really nice if your little one has a yellow rubber duck. (Is there a toddler who doesn't?)

5.0 out of 5 stars My Baby's Favorite Book!, April 22, 2002

This review is from: Find the Duck (Find It) (Board book)

This book is perfect for reading to babies and toddlers! The pictures are vivid and eye-catching, and the text is very short, which is very good for those ultra-short attention spans!!

Since I've heard so often that reading to babies is extremely beneficial, I started reading this book (and a few others) to my son every night when he was about 2 months old. I always read the text and also point out the duck on every page. It very quickly became his favorite, as he expressed by smiling and laughing when I brought it out. Well, now my son is almost 9 months old and when I read it to him today, he pointed to the duck on one of the pages and said, "du!" I think this book has definately made an impression!

I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun book for their little one. :-)
