Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-- Wellington uses bold, vivid colors in a simple poster art style to show the adventures of seven little ducklings. After rising in the morning, they splash in a pond and explore farm and forest before trudging sleepily back to their nest for the night. Inspired by a German children's song, the book is perfect for reading aloud. Young children will enjoy the sounds of the ducklings' activities: "splish splosh," "wibble wobble," "dibble dibble dabble." The simple text is attractive and easy to read, and the charming illustrations are filled with gentle humor. This is a welcome addition to any picture book collection. --Jane Tighe, Baltimore County Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars Babies love this book!, September 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: All My Little Ducklings (Viking Kestrel Picture Books) (Board book)

This book, with its yellow ducklings and inventive language, has enchanted every 6-18 month old I know. As a developmental psychologist with an interest in children's literature, this makes my top 5 list for the under-2 crowd.

2.0 out of 5 stars Odd Duck, February 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: All My Little Ducklings: Book Board and Ducks (Board book)

I must be the odd duck judging by the other reviews, but this book was very average. The words like "scurry, hurry, plunk," "pitter, patter, scatter," and "mumble, stumble, bump." seemed like nonsense and words my daughter didn't need to learn at 18 months. My daughter loves ducks and let this book sit untouched after initial readings for about 10 month until she was 2. She now likes the pictures, which are great and colorful. Also the plastic ducks float upside down in the bathtub. If you want great colorful pictures, I would rate this as 5 stars. But as a total package, I rate it a 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars reader from Northbrook, IL, October 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All My Little Ducklings: Book Board and Ducks (Board book)

My daughter absolutely loves anything ducky. This book has become the all time beloved book in our household. Some of her first words have come from trying to imitate the way we read the darling phrases like "scurry, hurry, plunk," "pitter, patter, scatter," and "mumble, stumble, bump." Take the adventure with these ducks and their mother as they wake up, feed and play in the pond, wander through the forest, swim in the pond, and snuggle up in their nest. This is a book I like to give to new parents.
