Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreKindergarten-Grade 1The subject here is ducks, and while this newly illustrated revised edition (Crowell, 1965) does examine their behavior, the primary focus is on preeningthe process by which ducks spread oil through their feathers to keep them waterproofand their search for food. The text is essentially the same as in the earlier edition except for a few minor word changes and the placement of a hands-on experiment. This edition also includes a warning against using wild bird feathers (illegal in some areas) for the experiment. The earlier edition featured illustrations by Leonard Kessler in a simple, cartoon style. This title includes watercolors that have more visual appeal and are more realistic. This is especially evident in the depiction of different duck species, which are now much more easily identifiable. A welcome addition that meets the growing demand for nonfiction titles for young readers.Arwen Marshall, New York Public Library

Although the text for this delightful science-concept book for little on es was originally published in 1965, Helen K. Davie's brand-new illustrations ad d immeasurable lustre to this winning picture book. The book is a charming and clear-headed explanation of why ducks, though they paddle and dive in water coun tless times each day, never get wet. This seeming paradox makes for just the so rt of nature puzzle that intrigues small children. En-route to the answer, they will learn a great deal about ducks (i.e., they can dive 200 feet down into wat er, swim underwater for 300 feet and fly South at speeds from 30 to 70 miles per hour). One of a science series for young listeners and early readers, this pap erback is a bargain not to be missed. A Parents' Choice Silver Honor. (Selma G. Lanes, Parents' Choice, 1999)
