The Chick and the Duckling

What a great, but simply & entreatingly told, lesson about the perils of being a copycat. If more little kids read this, might they have less trouble with cliques and self-identity in middle school?

This book is how a chick follows the duckling and does everything it does but then at the end the chick finally finds its own way and does what it wants. I might use this in the classroom to show independence and finding your own way to do things. This is a good book for kindergarten to first grade.

This book is about a chick and a duckling. The chick follows the duckling along on all of his adventures, but finally realizes that they are different and that it's okay to do different activities.

I recommend this book to the primary classrooms. It is a fun, simple, bright, and has words throughout the book to help explain what they are doing. This book is encouraging to kids to try new things, but realize not everything is made for everyone! People will thrive in different activities!

This book could be used as a read aloud, or available to students during independent reading time. I think the book could be utilized to help students realize that it's okay to be different and that they don't have to make every decision based on someone else.

Cute book with with a bit of a surprise ending. It's not the greatest but my son loves it, second time we checked it out and he remembered it from quite awhile ago.

Hatched at the same time, the chick does fine imitating the duckling until the latter goes for a swim.

Baby chick soon realizes that she can't do everything duckling can do
