Everyone is Special, June 23, 2008
This review is from: The Rubber-Legged Ducky (Hardcover)
Watch out what you eat when you are expecting! Mama duck nibbled a rubber band along with a clump of grass before giving birth. When she hatched her brood, the fifth duckling bounced rather than waddled, and cried, "Bing-boing" instead of the typical "Quack, quack." This delightful tale is all about being different, or special with true potential, as only a mother could declare. Five's rubbery legs were good for strumming accompaniments to sing-alongs and lassoing bullies but his greatest act of bravery was to stand against the fox, using his special talents to protect his family.
As a speech language pathologist, I always encourage parents to expand on a book. Take the opportunity to discuss with your child how friends are different, what special talents we all have--maybe a good listener, helper or storyteller--and celebrate differences.
