Ducks Don't Wear Socks

Ducks Don't Wear Socks is about a little girl named Emily that is very serious all the time, she won't even smile. Emily soon meets a duck that ends up brighting her days by wearing clothing, and ducks aren't suppose to wear clothes!

I felt this was a very delightful book to read. It easlily captures a young audience by its silly humor. Also, it has a little life lesson at the end of the story.

I could discuss with the kids why it was fun for Emily to laugh and be friends with the duck. We would talk about how Emily enjoyed being friendly and not serious all the time. I would also involve the kids in participating in guessing what the duck would be wearing next.

This is a great little story about a girl who needs to lighten up. We all have those moments, kids AND adults! The text is simple and concise, and it's lots of fun to do Emily's "serious" voice and Duck's not-serious voice. The illustrations are simple and cute, but interesting as well.

This book is so cute and the 1st graders loved it! I would consider this book to be a fantasy book because ducks don't talk.

Emily is a serious. Duck is wacky. When they first meet, Duck is wearing socks, followed by a tie, a cowboy hat, and underwear. Despite herself, Emily can’t help began to smile. Each time Emily questions Duck’s attire, he is always ready with a brief and silly reply as he scurries on his way. The more outlandish is outfits become, the more Emily loosens up. In the end, Emily turns the tables and it is her turn to dress outlandishly and make Duck laugh. This wacky, light hearted provides a great lesson on the benefits of laughter. A wonderful read-aloud for kids of all ages.

Fun story about a duck who teaches a little girl how to not be so serious! It's a good lesson for a lot of us.

This is a book that you might have to read more than once to children so they can really grasp the concept of accepting others who are different. That is is OK to standout in a crowed and that when you start to learn about others you might end up learning about yourself.

Awesome book, very silly. A very serious girl becomes silly because of the influence of a silly duck.
