"A female is a duck. Sometimes a female is called a hen. A males is a drake. Drakes and ducks mate."

This page bothered me a lot. What do you mean a female is a duck??

There is not much to say about this book. It was pretty boring to read. The book consisted of explaining that ducklings follow their mother. I do not know if children would care for this book too much.

I love the way the pictures and the story clearly describes the live of the ducks from birth to maturity and I also like the way the writer mentions what each ducks are called. This is a good book to teach student about animal, especially ducks.

Good book with real pictures. Children can learn where they live, how they are called, and how they are born. Add new words to children’s vocabulary. It has additional information on the back.

Although informative, it was a bit of a dry book with not a lot of influx in interests and dialogue. The pictures were interesting but I would have liked to have read some cool interesting facts in the corners or other interesting aspects like that which I know I would have loved as a kid.

All the books like this are great! They have awesome simple information and wonderful pictures. For older students, the glossary in the back is also very useful.
