I love this heartwarming story about urban life. Can be used as both a window or a mirror for urban/rural children.
This book shows a charming story of a duck's family journey through Boston. It captures the love that can be shown in a family.
Look who was visiting the library at the same time as me today? 😍
“Mr. and Mrs. Mallard were bursting with pride. It was a great responsibility taking care of so many ducklings, and it kept them very busy.”
This is another book that my parents used to read to me when I was little and I always loved it. It reminded us of them because they used to live in Boston before I was around. It is such a sweet book and it makes people think about what animals in cities may be going through. There is nothing wrong with throwing bread to the ducks sometimes.
