I think this book would be the perfect age for Kindergarten age children. This book is about Mr. Peters who owns a chocolate factory, Johnny who works in the chocolate factory, his rubber ducky, and Pauline who tests the chocolate that comes out of the machine. This one day, Pauline was trying to fix the machine and he accidentally knocked Ducky into the chocolate and it was declared an EMERGENCY! So, Mr. Peters comes to save the chocolate factory. The books is so cute at the ending. ( ) This book is about a group of workers that work in a chocolate factory. One of the workers carries a rubber duck everywhere he goes. One day when the boss was out, the rubber duck fell into a machine and backed up the entire assembly line. The man was scared that the boss was going to be so mad at him. Instead, finding the rubber duck covered in chocolate, inspired him. He was motivated to create edible chocolate ducks. Because the man was honest and took full blame for the machine breaking, his boss was not mad. The book teaches children to always be honest. It also teaches them to be optimistic. The boss could have been so mad and fired the man. Instead, he accepted the mans mistake and created a new design and idea out of it. He made the best out of a bad situation. I thought the book was cute. It was about a rubber ducky getting stuck in the chocolate machine. In the long run the ducky getting stuck in the machine was not such a bad think, because the inventer came up with a new idea for candy. A ducky shaped chocolate bar. I would read this book to my students around a holiday where candy is a big focus (Halloween, Easter). This book was about a man named Mr. Peters that had a chocolate factory. He has two helpers, johnny who likes to be helpful and Pauline and she is in charge of the quality control. One day the machine just stopped making candy and they had to figure out why. When Mr. Peter's came to figure out the problem they found out that there was a duck that was stuck in the machine blocking the candy from coming out. She got inspired finding this duck and ended up making chocolate ducks instead and everyone loved that idea in town. no reviews | add a review
