I think that this book and others like it in the series are great for younger school aged kids. We have used these in the first and second grade classroom to help with their "first" research book reports. There is not too much information where the child will be overwhelmed and the information isn't silly either. I think that these books are great for beginner readers. These are also AR books for anyone who might want to know. I would recommend these books to others.

Ducks are so cute and we see a lot of them at parks and small lakes. My son had fun reading about them!

It does a wonderful job with the titles for the table of contents. I teach my first graders that sometimes you do have to read the whole non-fiction book but just the information you need. The book includes; hens, drakes, where they live, eat and duck feathers,

An excellent preschool non-fiction book with great photographs to share at "Duck" storytime. The grown-ups even were surprised to learn a female duck is called a hen.
