What a great way to express the way that this little character explores and learns about the world. Loved the pictures and the way it was written. Loved every minute of it!!

This book manages to teach your child a little about ducks and also has a bit of character development in it. The story is illustrated with photographs of the little duck, named Henry. (awww)Henry is found as an egg and brought home by a boy. You get to see Henry pop out of the egg and see what he eats and what he does with his first swim. Henry follows the boy around the farm and sits in grandpas lap and reads the paper. Hes getting bigger all the time. Henry gets lonely after the boy goes back to school....and I know the suspense is killing you---so you'll just have to get the book for yourself, won't you???

This is one of many wonderful Judy Dunn books -- we first got The Little Kitten (Pictureback(R)) and couldn't wait to find more. These are simple, sweet stories that accompany adorable, clear photography of children with their pets.
If you've read a lot of books with your kids, you'll understand that not all are created equal. These are head and shoulders above MANY others -- No dorky rhymes, no annoying plots or stereotypes. My 3-6 year old children loved to ask questions about the kids in the pictures and learn about the animals gentle little adventures. These are precious little bits of sunshine on our bookshelf. Highly recommend.

Too cute
While it is true children must be taught not to pick up eggs, the story is so sweet and positive. I loved this as a child and my 4 yr old son loves it too.
