Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck [Hardcover]

Bob Elsdale (Author), Patrick Regan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2008

"Before I was even born, you loved me." --Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck

From the photographer of elegantly ageless elephants in Gray Matter and the porcine with panache from Pretty in Pink comes a chick hatchling tale to honor moms.

Celebrating mom's roles as nurturer, teacher, and cheerleader, Elsdale's photographic spreads of feathery fledgling chicks are perfectly paired with Regan's heartfelt verse:

• "Whenever I lost my way and my feathers were ruffled, you were there to smooth them."
• "With every loving act and patient lesson, you prepared me for my life ahead."
• I know I've still got a lot to learn about life, but I do know one thing for sure . . . I'm a lucky duck to have a mom like you."

This review is from: Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck (Hardcover)

My husband bought this booklet for me for Mother's Day. At first, I thought it was just silly. However, my husband insisted I read it.
It has the cutest duck pictures in the world. These photos are absolutely brilliant and amazing for the range of emotions they portray. Who knew ducks have emotions just like our own? This is a treasure for anyone who cares about animals. And is an uplifting and wonderful "All Things Bright and Beautiful" read.
