Two young ducks tend to scare away their playmates with their loud quacking. One day, they visit a noisy duck pond where their loud voices are finally put to good use.

The simple text and almost Impressionist illustrations combine to form a delightful Springtime story. Children will like the fact that loud voices are appreciated, and adults will like the loving relationships between the ducklings and their elders.

We purchased about four different "Daisy" books to leave at my parents house for when we visit. This group of books is so fun and have good messages in them. My son is 3 and we've been reading them since he was born and he still likes them.

One in a series of stories about Daisy the little duck, Quack, Daisy, Quack is a story of what happens when Daisy gets separated from her Mama during an outing at the pond. This is a softly painted picture book even younger preschoolers like to read along to. Readers get a sense of how scared Daisy feels when she realizes she cant find Mama, and will cheer Daisy on when she finally quacks loud enough to call Mamas attention over all the noise of the rest of the ducks in the pond. At the end of the story, we see Daisy and baby brother Pip back in the family garden taking a nap near Mama and Aunt Lily. Preschoolers will enjoy the many opportunities to shout and quack like noisy ducks, and will love quacking a loud Mama! during the story. I especially like how Daisy is able to solve the problem of losing Mama by herself and how we see how comforted she is when shes back home safe and sound. The quirky, goofy little duckling is very endearing and seems to epitomize every preschoolers desire to wander off from time to time.
