"Mama Duck had five little ducklings, Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, Puddle, and Little Quack. They all lived together in a nice, soft nest. But even Mama's littlest duckling was not so little anymore. "It's time to leave the nest," she said one day..." And that means it's time to learn to swim and take that first dip in the pond. All the little ducklings are very anxious, especially Little Quack. But one by one, with a lot of encouragement from Mama, they conquer their fear and take the plunge..... Lauren Thompson's simple, repetitive text is engaging and begs to be read aloud and shared. But it's Derek Anderson's exuberant and playful illustrations that really make this picture book a stand-out. Each large, dazzling spread is filled with bold color, marvelous facial expressions, eye-catching detail, and lots of humor, that makes this a perfect selection for story time. An inventive Quack-U-Lator running along the bottom of each page introduces counting and addition, and just adds to the fun. Little Quack is a delightful, interactive, preschool crowd pleaser that's sure to become an often requested, instant favorite both at school and at home.
I absolutely adore this book as does my 3 yr old son. It's repeatitve text, as we go thru each ducklings initiation into the pond, helps my son feel like he can actually read to ME this inspiring story. I never tire of reading it to him or him to me. The illustrations were what caught my eye at first in the bookstore. Then I browsed the book and knew I had a hit. The illustrations never cease to convey what Little Quack is feeling. Even my 9yr old son enjoyed reading it to his little quack brother! I'm here now to look at other L. Thompson books.
As a kindergarten/pre-k teacher, I fell in love with "Little Quack". The illustrations are beautiful. I purchased this book for a great-nephew who is entering this world in June. Can't wait to hold him and read this book to him.
Yet another great Little Quack book...you can't beat them for small children just learning to look at the pictures and listen to the story. I read and point to the corresponding part of the pictures and then my Grandson can go behind me later and point and repeat the words. good learning books with great pictures. I have four different Little Quack books and he loves them all. finish one and he runs to get another.
These books are great for babies and toddlers and we have almost all of them as this point. The writing is great, albeit a bit repetitive at times, but this is good for little kids learning to talk. The illustrations are the best part of these books in my opinion. They are very colorful and can almost tell the story without the text.
My son loves this book. I started to read this with him at 7 months old. I bought it at a school book fair while pregnant with him. His face lights up when I read it to him. The duckulator is a wonderful way for kids to learn adding. I had bought it in soft cover. I recommend the board book for babies. He enjoyed the book so much I bought an extra copy for him in a board book so he wouldn't rip it.
My son loves this book and quacks along with it. The illustrations are wonderful and it has a steady pace. It is the perfect length for my toddler and I envision it still being used as he gets a little older and learns his numbers as he'll be able to count the ducks as they go in the water.
This is the 1st book in the series of Little Quack. My 20-month-old son absolutely loves the entire series. This book was a great introduction to Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, Puddle and Little Quack. My 3-year-old even reads this to his brother! Great story!
