Mr. Lemonade Stand just wants to sell some lemonade. A pesky duck keeps walking up every day asking him for grapes! How long will his temper hold out? Will the poor, pesky duck ever get his grape?

I am in love with this book! I found myself giggling through it from the very first page. The ARC copies aren't furnished with the sound component for the book so I wasn't able to check that out, but I'm betting it's as wonderful as the rest of the book. In the back of the book there's a CD with severa...more

Okay, you know how children are attracted to repetitive and silly songs? Yes, I'm sure if you work with children or have children you know what I mean. Even as adults we can't escape these songs, because they get stuck in your head for days! The Duck Song by Bryant Oden does just that, and that's why I love it!

The illustrations in this book are so cute, they look like they are drawn by kids. Forrest Whaley was only 14 when he animated the video. I thought that was amazing! I especially love the...more

This book came in the mail and became an instant hit in my home. Not only does my 6 year old son love it, my 11 year old daughter does as well. I have to admit that The Duck Song is an adorable book that I have enjoyed reading to my son many times. He also loves the song~ it is very catchy. After the story make sure to look in the back of the book for the section that explains why the duck asks the man at the lemonade stand for grapes. I think that was actually my favorite part of the book. The...more

A duck comes upon a lemonade stand and asks if he has any grapes - day after day - the same thing - The man always tells him no - even threatens to glue him to a tree. Until one day the man laughs and takes the duck to a store to buy him grapes - only to have the duck tell him he doesn't want them and that lemonade sounds good.

It is very cute the way it rhymes and the illustrations are very colorful and bright. A CD comes with the book and the first song on it is The Duck Song (includes 11 oth...more

Originally reviewed on my blog, Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing.

When offered the chance to review The Duck Song by Bryant Oden, I accepted because my nephews (not quite 3 and almost 5) love books, and they are always appreciative when I bring them something new. The book looked cute, and fun, so I was pretty excited when I got my copy. I didn't know that it had originally been a bit of a big deal on youtube.

Once I got my copy, I read through it once and then brought it to my sister's to rea...more

I love, love, love, this book. I found this book to be really cute. The pictures were drawn just right. I had my daughter read the book and between the song and the pictures it really pulled her in. She laughed as she read it. It is about a little duck who wants something that he cannot get and is so presistant about it, that he winds up making the guy selling the product upset. I think this is a book that every child should have on their shelf.

This book is so fun! It 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 along in the book as the song is sung! 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.
The illustrations are simple, bright and bold. A great gift book for a young child.

I loved this book! It reminds me so much of life at my house when the kids ask over and over for something and then when I figure out a way to make that happen...they don't want it anymore. Cute, cute, Cute!!! Plus, I am singing the song in my head all day long. :)

I am going to review this one on my blog... This was a fun read! Everyone had this song in their head all weekend!

I'm so happy that the creator of the grape loving duck made a book for children! I love it!

If you are a person who reads books to children, listen up! This is a very cute and funny book. You should get it. And read it to a child. Or a bunch of them.
