Golden Egg Book.......2007-04-02

I purchased this book for my grandson age 2. The book arrived promptly and brought back fond memories. It is still a classic!!

You won the golden egg.......2006-04-16

My children, Josh and Amy, loved this book. Congratulations on finding this.

Must have! .......2006-03-21

My mother used to read it to me and now I am reading it to my daugther (she's 2 1/2). It is a family favorite. The story is beautiful, touching, sweet, etc. I love the language/word choice used by the author. I could read it to my daughter every day and not get tired of it. And, the illustrations are exquisite. They are so detailed and beautiful. If you do not own this book, go and buy it. It's worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. They don't make them like this anymore! This is a classic.

My son loves it as much as I did.......2006-02-22

This was one of my favorite books growing up. We got it for my 3 year-old son, and he loves it as much as I do. The question of, "What is inside the egg?" is exciting, even though he now knows the answer. We have fun coming up with new possibilities, though.

Bottom line: this is a great, fun book for a toddler. I highly recommend it. It also is useful for parents trying to encourage a child's imagination.

A true picturebook classic.......2004-07-09

Charmingly written by Margaret Wise Brown and superbly illustrated by Leonard Weisgard, The Gold Egg Book is a true picturebook classic telling the story of the rambling imagination of one little bunny as he tries to figure out just what is inside a beautiful blue egg. A whole new generation of children ages 2 to 5 will delight in this lively story as the bunny tries to shake, push, and even jump on the egg in his attempts to break it. But the egg won't hatch until it is ready! The Golden Egg Book will prove to be an enthusiastically popular addition to family, preschool, and community library collections.

Book Description

Ahoy! Here We Go
Around the World
with 10 Little Rubber Ducks

"Ducks overboard!" shouts the captain, as a giant wave washes a box of 10 little rubber ducks off his cargo ship and into the sea. The 10 little rubber ducks are swept away in various directions. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. A whale sings to another. But, as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight -- and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending.

In this poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, Eric Carle also takes readers on an exciting voyage of discovery. Following the little ducks as they float to all parts of the globe, young explorers can see for themselves the meanings of directional words, and learn simple math concepts such as counting and the use of cardinal and ordinal numbers. Each creature the ducks meet is seen in its own habitat and behaves in a true-to-life manner, offering a very simple first view of biology and geography.

All aboard for a world of learning and fun!

Love it!!!.......2007-08-23

Very impressed with the book. Arrived in pristine condition. Love the rubber duck squeaky sound box on the back cover.

A minor hit at home.......2007-08-07

Not as good as some of the Eric Carle classics; I can't see it being read as much as "The Hungry Caterpillar" in our house but it's still a good bedtime story standby.

10 Little Rubber Ducks.......2007-03-09

I purchased this book for my three year old grandson. He loved it! We read it several times together and he giggled and had a wonderful time looking at the wonderful pictures. Another Eric Carle master piece!!!

Wonderful story.......2006-08-14

This book is simply a delight! I bought it for my granddaughter who is 9 months. She loves for me to read it to her. We just love it!!

The story behind the story is more interesting.......2006-06-27

This book is simply not that great. The rubber ducky sound at the end is cute but nothing to applaud. The art is borderline awful and, while the story behind the story is cute, it just did not come out great as a children's book. I must confess, I am not an Eric Carle fan though, with the exception of The Very Busy Spider, which I enjoyed. To put it simply, don't bother. The two redeeming qualities of this book are 1) it teaches counting well (the first rubber duck, the second rubber duck) and it exposes the kids to animals you do not see every day (octupus, flamingo, pelican).

Customer Reviews:

NICE LITTLE LESSON HERE AND THE LITTLE ONES LOVE IT........2007-09-22

The cover of this book (I am reviewing the hardback), is enough to catch your eye and it will certainly catch the eye of your child. I recently had the pleasure of reading this one to a group of pre-school kids, and not one child was unhappy with the choice of book. I even got requests for seconded readings! That is a nice endorsement for any childrens book. This work is actually a bit of a mini-lesson in accepting those that may be a bit different..i.e. it is okay if the other kid is green rather than yellow, it is good to have diverse friends. The bold, simple art work in this one is an absolute delight to the eye. The text is simple and repetative and the characters are just simply cute. The little duckling and little frog are pretty typical you children and our little human children can certainly identify with them. Actually, there is not very much not to like about this book. Highly recommend.

Love this book!!!.......2007-08-27

My 2 year old has fallen in love with Little Quack. Ever since reading "Little Quacks Bedtime" she's been obsessed. Since I'm a push-over, I've purchased every book in the Little Quack series and while she LOVES them all, this one is her favorite. We've read it everyday for about a month now. I think it's all the fun sounds she gets to make as she reads along with me. I would recommend this book highly!!!

Great Illustrations.......2007-03-23

Such a cute book. Little Quack reminds me of my little one. Beautiful Illustrations

Charming illustrations, perrfect for bedtime reading.......2006-06-02

Little Quack's New Friend by Lauren Thompson and illustrated by Derek Anderson is a completely delightful children's book. The bright cover got me to bring it home from the library and the clever story entranced my 3 year old daughter. Little Quack and his siblings: Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, and Puddle meet a new friend Little Ribbit, and they play together. The illustrations are amazingly charming, the words just repetitive enough for my daughter to enjoy what's coming next without me wanting to tear out my hair, and even my twelve year old daughter sat through a reading. My husband declared it adorable. It has a sweet, easy message of getting along despite our differences which is perfect for this age group. I've ordered other books in the series from the library, and if they are as good as this one, they will probably become Christmas presents.

Book Description

First published in 1989, this charming Raffi Songs to Read/reg/ has fresh appeal as a board book that the youngest child can hold. With sweet illustrations by veteran children's book artists Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey, this lovely counting song will invoke squeals of delight from babies and toddlers. They'll love counting down as first five little ducks, then four, then three, then two, then one go out to play, not to return. Sadly, Mother Duck waits alone through all four seasons until spring returns and with it her five ducks, all grown up-along with their new families of baby ducks.

Raffi - Five Little Ducks.......2007-01-10

I bought this as a follow up to "Wheels on the Bus" which my daughter just loves. The story/song is really cute to read, but I'm disappointed with the illustrations. Still a good buy.

Great book for reading readiness..........2006-06-11

This book lets you teach 18 vowel-spellings with 40 vocabulary words.

Very cute storey.......2006-02-18

My son likes this book and loves to say "quack quack". It's a simple story, and he enjoys reading it as well as flipping through the pages. As it goes from 5 ducks to 4 ducks and all the way down to 1, he counts on his fingers how many ducks are left. It's a great book. I recommend it!

My son LOVES LOVES LOVES this book...Quack Quack..........2005-10-30

Cutest book, beautiful graphics and so fun to sing together, he can't get enough of this one and runs around quack quacking day and night - just precious! A fun, happy, sweet read!

My son at 6 months really was not into books. This series uses small puppets that can be wiggled with each page keeping kids interst. The stories are nothing special but the illustrations are bright and colorful. I have since bought a set as a gift for a friend.

Book Description

¡Vamos a recorrer el mundo
con los 10 patitos de goma!

"¡Patos al agua!" grita el capitán del barco mercante al ver que una ola gigante ha lanzado al mar una caja de diez patitos de goma de su cargamento. Los diez patitos se dispersan en todas las direcciones. Hay uno que se va hacia el oeste, donde se encuentra con un simpático delfín que salta por encima de él. A otro le canta una ballena. Pero cuando se pone el sol, el décimo patito de goma se queda solo, solo y abandonado en medio del inmenso mar. El pequeño lector sin duda se identificará con los apuros por los que pasa el patito y se quedará absolutamente encantado con el entrañable y sorprendente desenlace.

En este conmovedor y simpático cuento, ilustrado con una genial técnica basada en el collage, Eric Carle también invita al lector a un viaje lleno de sorpresas y descubrimientos. Siguiendo a los patitos que se dispersan por las distintas zonas del globo terrestre, el niño reconocerá el uso de las expresiones verbales que indican dirección, así como la numeración ordinal y cardinal. Los animales con los que se encuentra cada uno de los patitos se muestran en su propio habitat y con su comportamiento habitual, lo cual supone un primer acercamiento a los conceptos de biología y de geografía.

¡Todos a bordo para un divertido viaje hacia el conocimiento!

Great Purchase.......2007-07-27

I highly recommend this little book. I have twin boys and they have been enjoying it since they were four months old. They like hearing the story and the finger puppet makes them laugh. They also like holding the book and playing with the duck puppet and the hole. They like the ladybug finger puppet book a lot too. These books are great gifts and are most suitable for very young children. I like the ladybug and duck books so much that just ordered them as gifts for my niece. Next we'll try bee book.

Loved it in German for years . . ........2006-10-31

We bought this book in Germany for our 6-month-old daughter years ago. She loved it so much it went everywhere with us. When we lost our first, much-loved, much-teethed-on copy, it was a major catastrophe in our household, and we wrote frantically to friends in Germany for a few more copies, just in case! I am thrilled to find it in English (though the text isn't as cute as in the German version). Now we can share it with friends, we aren't having to translate every time we read it, and there are no more international incidents when our copy gets lost!

One of my son's favorites.......2006-02-26

I bought this book in a store because my son, maybe 6 months old at the time, laughed and laughed when I picked it up. Now he is 1 years old and it is still a favorite. I recently bought 2 more copies as gifts.

The duck finger puppet comes through each page of this board book and it keeps your baby interested as you either read he story or just talk about each page. The story is not so important -- this book is more for smaller babies who will like the colorful pages and the yellow duck puppet. It holds a baby's attention much better than most other books at a very young age, and it is great for keeping in the diaper bag or reading at bedtime to calm your child.

By the way...my son's second word was "duck!" I don't think it was all from this book (he has 3 rubber duckies he loves too) but reading this book could not have hurt!

Little Quack's Hide and Seek.......2007-01-31

The book is funny and it was funny because he hid behind his mother. His sister hid in a log. His brother hid under a lily pad. His other brother hid in a tree. ANother brother hid in the leaves. His mother found him last.

My 3 year old grandson loves--loves this book. We already had to buy a second book because he looked at it all the time. We have all the books in this series and he can't get enough of us reading them to him. Looks like we need to get another set for Grandma & Papa's house........

Sweet story, perfect bedtime tale for little ones.......2006-06-06

Little Quack's Hide and Seek by Lauren Thompson and Derek Anderson is another sweet tale in the Little Quack series. I do love children's books, but I don't go out of my way to read them, but the sweet, lilting language of Thompson mixed with the bright, charming illustrations by Anderson have made this book a favorite in our house. It's perfect for reading quietly before bed. It's Anderson's pictures that truly make these books outstanding. They are old-fashioned and fresh all at the same time.

One of our favorites!.......2006-05-16

My little girl loved this book from about 9 months. She loved ducks so she was already inclined to like this book, but the cute and bright illustrations along with the fun story really captivated her. We read it over and over and a year later it still has not lost its charm on her. She is too young now for the addition and subtraction at the bottom of the pages, but I can see how they would offer an easy and fun way to learn math when she is a bit older.

Great book for my 2 year old.......2006-03-02

My daughter loves the little Quack series - In this book, she loves little Quack's ingenious hiding spot - right behind his mama! She loves to recite the parts of the book that she remembers and really loves the pictures! We'll be reading it over and over again for many months to come, I'm sure!

My 4 month old loves this book! We read it every night. The ducks are big and the text repetitive.
This one is by far her favorite.

Swimmingly Fun.......2006-11-03

Perfect for my 3-year-old: just the right amount of lines per page with double-page illustrations that are just outstanding. In this book the five ducklings leave the nest to "paddle on the water" with their Mama. Little Piddle wiggles into the water with a "sploosh." My daughter found the word sploosh so hilarious, it's now an open invitation for a tickle and has also become our family's word for a belly flop in the pool. Mama duck's mantra "you can do it, I know you can" has also proven useful.

This book is very durable. It has great illustrations and my 4 and 6 year old love the story.
