Overview / 简介: |
| An adorable little duckling is trying to befriend another "duck." However, he is oblivious to the fact that his potential pal is, in fact, a cat. Though resistant and stubborn at first, the cat soon realizes labels don't matter in the least—and before you know it, meowing and quacking are one and the same. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| The "duck" of the title is actually a cat, a fact that children will immediately recognize. But the duckling calling out to the feline still insists on calling it a duck and wanting to be friends. In spite of his persistent badgering, the cat politely refuses to join the little guy in dancing the puddle stomp. But after napping, the cat suddenly has a change of heart and decides to befriend the duckling after all. Bramsen's rhyming text is accompanied by bright illustrations in a pastoral setting. The detailed drawings are lovely-every blade of grass, flower petal, piece of tree bark, drop of splashed water, yellow fuzz on the duckling, and strand of white, black, and brown fur on the cat is meticulously rendered. Duckling displays several priceless facial expressions, although the cat doesn't look nearly as annoyed as it sounds. However, the story is slight, and the cat's decision to become the duckling's playmate is unconvincing. An additional offering.-Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CTα(c) Copyright 2011.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is beautifully illustrated, charmingly written, and a lot of fun. My kids (boy-girl twins, age 2) just love it, and laugh at all the right spots. The first time I read it my daughter wanted the duck to come to her (gesturing and saying "come come", it really came to life in her mind. Highly recommended for ages 2 and up–just be careful with the paper pages around aggressive little readers, or the book will be torn to shreds. |
