(  ) sdbookhound | Dec 24, 2009 |  I thought this was a great book for younger elementary aged kids. Although this book provides a story about a duck family, it is also educational in the sense that it tells kids how ducks care for their young and how they take care of themselves. This is a great book to have in your library, especially if you are teaching the kids about animals at some point. www.amazon.com/ducklings erowan | Oct 30, 2009 | This book is very simly and beautifully illustrated. I would use it for introduction on animal rights, different animal habitats, history, what children read in the 1940s, I would also use it for an art lesson on black, white and shading with pencils ( ) whitneyw | Sep 23, 2009 | Genre: Realistic Fiction Age: Primary Media: Charcoal I fel that this book fell within the realistic fiction genre because factual information is provided about ducks and teaching their young how to survive. The ducks do talk to one another but because they arent talking to humans I felt that it could pass, since animals do communicate with one another. (  ) kyoder06 | Sep 21, 2009 | "Make Way for Ducklings" is about two ducks name Mrs. and Mr. Mallard who trying to find a place to raise their family. They finally find a place and teach their kids to swim. walk in a straight line. and to come when called. I really like this book it is really cute. I think this is really good for first thru third grade students. I would take the kids to the park with a small pound to show them the ducks. Show how they fall in line like in the book. samitay89 | Sep 20, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0670451495, Hardcover)It's not easy for duck parents to find a safe place to bring up their ducklings, but during a rest stop in Boston's Public Garden, Mr. and Mrs. Mallard think they just might have found the perfect spot--no foxes or turtles in sight, plenty of peanuts from pleasant passers-by, and the benevolent instincts of a kindly police officer to boot. Young readers will love the mother duck's proud, loving protection of her wee webbed ones, and those with fond memories of Boston will enjoy familiar locales, from Beacon Hill to Louisburg Square, and over the Charles River--often from a duck's-eye view. Robert McCloskey, creator of Blueberries for Sal, never fails to elicit happy story-time giggles from youngsters, and his soft, brown-toned, Caldecott-winning illustrations make this gentle world come alive. (Ages 3 to 8) --Karin Snelson(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:08 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
