This song was one I had learned in pre-school, and I was thrilled to see it as a beautifully illustrated picture book. The large, bold pictures will work well in a lap or in a storytime. The text does not hamper the pictures, but neither is it lost or hard to read.

A most enjoyable book!

We love this book! The rhymes flow so nicely making it very easy to read - or sing, if you know the song! Also, the illustrations are wonderful! The bright colors really help keep my young daughters attention!

Even if you don't know this song, the rhythm of the lyrics, the story, and the illustrations will keep your child's attention to the end.

The fact that it's been pc'd (everybody lives in the end because it was "just a play") is fine. It's less likely to be traumatic (as opposed to, say, Go Tell Aunt Rhody) for a small child.

Another keeper.

Another favorite of my granddaughter's and my preschool/kinder students! Little White Duck not only provides a fun sing along opportunity, but introduces a performing arts play format. When time permits, I have children act/sing the parts and bow at the end. Children get to clap and say "Bravo!" at the end. Wonderful music and movement for preschool/kinders!

I listened to the Burl Ives song when I was a little girl. Now that I have my own little boy, I was so happy to find the song in a sturdy board book. You can still find Burl Ives singing "Little White Duck" on iTunes. :)

This is probably my 14 month old son's favorite book. We read (sang) it three times in a row today. I think it helps that the illustrations are incredible, and the lyrics flow nicely.

If you're looking for a baby gift, Little White Duck would be a great choice.

I bought this book for my 21/2 yr old daughter after her Kindermusik teacher read it to her class. The children loved all the animals and quickly learned to anticipate with excitement who is coming next. The rhythm of the words is delightful, and I find myself humming it throughout the day. A real classic that every child should read.

This book is great. I sang this book to my babies when they were only 4 months old, and they loved looking at the pictures. They still love the book and song. We always sing it in the car. After months of reading this book, we put it away for a couple of months but brought it back out when we started sign language. It is fun signing with this book with appearances by a little white duck, green frog, black bug, and red snake sitting, swimming, and playing in the water.

A great sing along book that is perfect for pre-school age children. They love interacting, and with an easy tune to sing/read they will feel like they are reading the book too! As a former pre-school teacher, I look forward to reading and singing this book with my own children.

Big book, not for little hands, brightly colored, but the only music was sheet music embedded on the cover. For this price it should have had the melody in the book. It should have been smaller, with music that played.
