The temptation to cut this book up … to hang the pictures on the wall to decorate with is very real! The illustrations are so darling and would cute-ify my baby’s room so much. But don’t worry; I love books too much to destroy one. Ha, ha!
This is simple but charming! A little girl looses her duck and has a short but sweet adventure trying to find it. Along the way we meet friendly people and see quaint French village scenes.
These books aren’t cheap so hopefully you can find them discounted somewhere.
Ages: 2 - 5
**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!

Charming vintage picture book about a little girl who loses her pet duck and goes searching for it. Light-hearted, innocent story and dear illustrations!

Apparently ducks are naughty when they want to hang out with other ducks.
