Overview

Description

A duck couple is house hunting and ends up in Boston, where they explore, evaluate and adapt as they set out to raise a family.

Author and illustrator Robert McCloskey, of Blueberries for Sal fame, has a knack for mingling animal characters with humans, this time mixing the natural world with the urban.

As with any solid nature documentary, we come away empathizing with our animal neighbors, a bond that is reinforced by the expressive emotion in these illustrations—for example the joy in mama duck’s face as she struts down the street, trailed by her brood.

What we love about it

Adorable ducklings, stunningly illustrated. This book has been selling itself since its publication in 1941.
