review 1: What an odd but utterly charming premise! A carousel duck wishes she could fly. One day, a real duckling wanders up to her and she takes care of it. But, she can't teach it to fly. This is a beautiful and touching story about love and longing and making dreams come true--even if it doesn't happen in quite the way you'd planned. Yeah, this book just "got" to me--I was totally sniffling at the end.
review 2: A carousel duck and real duckling are best friends, until flying tears them apart.With the use of borders and the incorporation of pages without borders, the illustrator found unique ways to show importance. Some pictures are focused into a circular shape, and those pictures typically aren’t the most main pointes. When the illustrator has a picture t... morehat takes up the whole page, it is clear that something important is going on. The use of borders really helps to show what things that the illustrator wants the reader to focus on. During the climax of the story, which happens to be at the end, almost all of the pictures take up the whole page. The pictures that take up the whole page are the pictures that the reader is going to pay more attention to, so it makes sense why those pictures go along with the important parts. less
