This is a very cute story. I find it a bit too long for storytime for younger children but, is great for one to one reading. The illustrations are DARLING. I did make flannel board pieces for this book and I used the duck, coats, boots, hats and mittens during a winter storytime to illustrate appropriate seasonal dress.
A rhyming story with cute enough illustrations but I didn't feel like it really grabbed the kids. Looking at it again, I think it might be better for one on one sharing rather than storytime. That would give kids time to see all the details in Hiroe Nakata's watercolor and ink drawings. I do love the minty color palette Nakata used.
Worked fine for the four-year-olds as a shorter wrap-up story at the end of storytime. Not their favorite of the day, but it still held their interest.

Nothing really memorable about this one. Five ducks (two leaders, three followers) go outside to skate. I didn't quite understand why they kept skating when they found a sign that said "No Skating".
Not really relevant for those of us living in Phoenix, but super cute rhymes make it easy for children to make sense of the story. Also good for making predictions as you read to the child.
okay, i admit. i'm developing an unhealthy and unprecedented addiction to classics and children's bookss. opposites much? :P
Love the rhyming story and the sweet illustrations. :)

Read out loud to 7 yr old.
Cute story about ice-skating ducks, but I am going to skip the part where they ignore a Stop sign when I read it at storytime.
