review 1: Description: A duck tries to befriend a cat that he does not know is a cat. He thinks the cat is a duck and talks to him as if he is a duck. The cat gets upset, but when the duck goes missing he realizes that friendship is more important than labels.Curriculum connection: The book is filled with words like float/boat, cat/scat, duck/truck. So, it would really help children identify and produce words that rhyme and that have shared ending sounds. Personal reaction to the book: I really loved the moral of the story-that friendship is more important than labels. Assessment of the visual appeal: This a beautiful book. The pictures are live-in and have a real-life look to them. As I'm flipping through the pages, it feels like I'm looking through a photo album. Genre: Picture St... moreorybookIntended audience: Preschool-Grade 2
review 2: OK, I am biased. My nickname since high school is "Duck." I am easily charmed by duckling books. Add to that, that the kitten in this book bears a striking resemblance to our Buffy Sainte Meow (who died unexpectedly early this year)...and you have a recipe for a completely biased opinion...But I found this adorable and enjoyable from beginning to end. The extra fluffy characters in the mostly full-bleed illustrations are expressive in body and face. The duckling's enthusiastic confusion, the kitten's grumpy resistance to the fun...toddlers will eat this up at story time or during a lap sit. It's as much fun to read as it is to look at.Highly recommended. 4.5 stars if I could! less
