My children loved this book!

The Duck Song comes with a CD that has 12 children's songs on it. The first song on the CD is "The Duck Song". Children can read/sing along in the book as the song is sung! My daughter nearly wore this CD out yesterday listening to it over and over.

The music is funny and upbeat and my kids love it! I think I nearly have "The Duck Song" memorized because they keep playing it over and over again. "Got any grapes?" has been stuck in my head all day.

The illustrations are simple, colorful, bright and bold.

The Duck Song would make a great gift book for a young child.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. ~ Anna Quindlen

Good children's literature appeals not only to
the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child.
