review 1: Can you like a book and not really know what to think of it? That's my dilemma here. The ducks and the heroine Polina are friends, and the ducks try to sooth her loss when her movie star boyfriend dumps her .... juvenile fiction? Still the perplexing problems of loss at the heart of the book, are universal - especially how answers - the whys of the heart - aren't always forthcoming, and so people (or ducks) deal in their own unique ways. Strangely charming. Give to a child whose parents separate or divorce, or a young adult experiencing a break up.
review 2: I enjoyed this story of two French ducks who live in Venice California, though from the cover I was afraid it was going to be a Disney Adventure. It wasn't, rather it was a lyrical and sweet fable about ... morelove and loss and carrying on. I'm not sure who the target audience for this one is, though. It's too long for the picture-book crowd, too babyish looking for the chapter-book people... I don't know who will pick it up. I do know that they will be glad they did. less
