Little Elephant
Barron's delightful series of Look at Me Books for toddlers continues to grow with more brand-new titles for the Spring 2011 season. Each of these board books tells a story about mother animal, how she cares for her baby, and keeps it out of trouble. The stories have natural appeal for younger boys and girls. This book's color illustrations on every page show a mother duck and her baby duckling rendered in a naturalistic style and placed in realistic settings. The book is die-cut in the shape of the baby duckling that is shown on the front cover and depicted in the story.

Shaped like a little duckling...little children will love this book.

“Lord love a duck” means to be stunned. This phrase certainly suits the precious toddler book, ‘Little Duckling’ by L. Rigo, as part of Barron’s Educational Series, Mini Look at Me Books.
L. Rigo has created an easy to read board book about the life of a duckling. The story weaves brief snippets into what ducklings do, but don’t be fooled by the brevity. Those few sentences per page, not only pack information, but clearly parallel the responsibilities any mother faces when raising a child or in the momma duck’s case, several children.
The eye-catching cover is cut in the shape and size of an adorable fuzzy duckling. This design makes the book accessible for tiny toddler hands to hold and carry around with them. The artistic drawings by L. Rigo, are peaceful to view with the soft array of colors chosen, such as; pink, various shades of green and blue, and of course, yellow.
‘Little Duckling’ is no goose egg. It is the type of book to be visually enjoyed by a toddler, but perhaps better understood verbally with a little help from a parent. Either way, it is a must have for one’s collection of barnyard books.

This book is part of a series of non-fiction baby books.
We’ve had this book and the others for over a decade and have been read so much the binding is falling apart. I’ve found my children sitting with them reading and rereading so many times. These little books are adorable and full of fun facts! I love adding non-fiction books to our baby books.

Since kid1's best animal word is "duck", this book is a huge hit. It is simple, showing some things that ducklings do, with realistic illustrations. Short and not much of a story but good for little ones who need a quick read or like to look at animal pictures.
