Award-winning artist Sylvia Long has teamed up with first-time children's book author Barbara Skalak to bring us a touching tale of one little duckling's first day in the world. From the moment our little duckling peeks out from the broken eggshell, he discovers the wonder of his Mama's love, brothers and sisters, the pondbut wait Where's Mama? Our adorable little duckling finds himself all alone, and the search for his Mama begins. This exciting and delightful story will warm hearts of mothers and children everywhere.
My 18-month old son absolutely LOVES this story, and so do I. He was entranced by the story and the images from the very first time it was read to him. Even after many, many readings, he has not yet grown tired of it, either. In fact, I often hear him reciting phrases from this story at random times throughout the day! The story is very sweet, the rhymes are simple yet memorable (great for early learners) and the illustrations are beautiful. I suspect that this book probably has not gotten the exposure it deserves; it could otherwise easily be a classic.

The delightful rhyming text of this sweet story will enchant young listeners. Children will enjoy following the adventures of the little ducking. The illustrations are beautiful, and even toddlers will enjoy searching the scenes for the critters mentioned in the text. The story ends with the duckings snuggling down for the night, a nice transition for getting children to snuggle down too.
