Review

Davies, a zoologist who has written excellent books for children about sharks, polar bears and owls, deftly tucks a range of duck facts into the sweet story of a girl who lives near a river filled with ducks... The setting looks like an idealized European hamlet. An elegant bridge stretches over a riverside park, and cyclists and church steeples dot the landscape. The unnamed narrator fits right in, stylishly clad in matching beret and scarf. But her friendly, down-to-earth vernacular is well pitched for the 6- or 7-year-old reader. No doubt, she will inspire others that age to visit and watch their local mallards.—The New York TimesDavies’s young narrator builds an impressive body of knowledge about ducks simply by watching the birds that live on and around the river that runs through her town...The text, set in a beautiful typeface that recalls rippling water, is pitch-perfect throughout, enthusiastic and confident, knowing without becoming precocious. Rubbino’s watercolors combine a sketchbook immediacy and economy with an appreciation for the ducks’ streamlined shape, handsome coloration, and placid and genial demeanor. Positively ducky all around.—Publishers Weekly (starred review)The daily activities of a young girl propel the easy-flowing language full of ducky details. Perfectly placed additional facts in smaller and similar-in-tone text are included on each spread...While Davies’ text gently informs, Rubbino’s mixed-media illustrations, done in a subdued palette of watery greens, grays and browns, truly impress... An ideal introduction to this familiar waterfowl—readers will enjoy diving right in.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)A charming and informative tribute to the ubiquitous duck... The mixed-media artwork adds a sweet, old-fashioned character to the story. Created in a palette of greens and browns, the illustrations reflect the peaceful setting of the natural habitat in which these birds live. Like Robert McCloskey’s MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS (Viking, 1941), this gentle picture book celebrates the wonder and awe nature can inspire in everyday life.—School Library Journal (starred review)The easy-going, colloquial tone of the text makes the information surprisingly easy to absorb... Rubbino’s watercolor paintings have a wonderful freshness and spontaneity about them, capturing the look and body language of ducks, while including details of physiology mentioned in the story. Beautiful, informative, and fine for reading aloud.—Booklist (starred review)Rubbino’s art, vigorous, informal splashes of color with the fluidity of watercolor and the sharp-edged smoothness of digital illustration, relies on piney greens and russety browns in an earthtoned palette that exudes the damp chill of a duck-rich river in a frigid season; the gestural treatment of the ducks conveys their motion as they flap and preen. With a take-a-closer-look emphasis on animals that many youngsters have in their own neighborhoods, this is a useful addition to Davies’ excellent early nature-study titles that both answers questions and brings biology to kids’ doorsteps.—Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksIn this nicely illustrated picture book, the reader gets more than beautifully detailed drawings and a little girl’s story. . . .With careful reading, one learns about the pond behavior, mating, feeding, sleeping, and parenting habits of ducks. The illustrations’ muted colors and the finely crafted font help to create an atmosphere that mimics the smooth progression of the ducks atop the water.—Library Media Connection

If you have a child in your life who is interested in birds then you need to get this book. This story is about a little girl who lives near ducks and educates the reader in a very entertaining way. The illustrations are great and remind me of The Swan Boats at the Boston Garden. The text is simple and informative. You learn about preening, upending, and dabbling, as well as other interesting facts about Mallard ducks. This book should be in every Birder's home library.

My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves ducks. He's a little young for this book, but he did understand some of it. The book is great because it doesn't talk down to the kids. It has interesting facts and I enjoyed reading it to my grandson.

Our son loves birds of all kinds. This book is a cute little story about a girl and the ducks outside her window. I especially love the new vocab words like "preening" and the definition that follows. What a great way to teach kids.

Great book! I read it with my preschool class of 3-4 year olds and they really enjoyed it! It had lots of great facts on every page that we used to learn more about ducks! It will be used often and I recommend it to the child who enjoys learning!

great purchase my students love it!

Adorable book. I buy it for all my hunting buddies kids. Great illustrations.

My grandson and I LOVE this book! (He's three.)

It looks like what I was expecting. I bought it based on the review in "Science". I think my granddaughter will love it.
