review 1: Genre: picture storybookAnnotation: Early one morning, Mama Duck takes her babies for a walk. They follow safely behind her as they leave their pond, waddle through the park, and stop in the little sunlit town's parking lot for yummy breakfast. But one by one, Mama's little ducklings get separated when they disappear into the slats of the town's storm drain. How three firemen and a pickup truck rush to their rescue makes for a vivid and exciting drama that children will return to over and over again.Themes: Animal Babies and Parents, Birds, Firefighters, Lost and Found, community, problem-solving, working together, cooperationWays to Use: teaching cause/effect, problem/solution, behaviors of mother ducks and ducklings, teaching citizenship/communityVirginia Readers' Choic... moree 2014 (primary)
review 2: This is a wonderful book about the misadventures of Pippin, Bippin, Tippin, Dippin and Little Joe: five little ducklings who went for a walk behind their Mama one day. Unfortunately, the walk took them over a storm drain and one by one, all five of the ducklings fall through the grate. With beautiful illustrations we see how the townspeople of Montauk Long Island pull together to rescue the tiny ducklings and return the entire family to the safety of the pond in the park. There is a note about the incident, which happened in June 2000, and lists the rescuers as well as information about new storm drain grates with smaller openings that are safe for future duckling crossings. Charming book! less
