Paris has Madeline, New York has Eloise and Boston has... Mrs. Mallard! Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey is a picture book that will warm your heart like a down comforter! In her search for a perfect home for her ducklings - Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack (Phew, are you with me?!). Mrs. Mallard will brave Beantown's traffic to get to the right place. But will she and her brood make it?!?Filled with heart-warming illustrations by the author and based on an actually observed scene of travelling ducks, Make Way for Ducklings is truly an oldie but goodie!
And if you ever find yourself in Boston, check out the beautiful Public Garden! You just might run into Mrs. Mallard and her ducklings (in bronze, that is)!
your book choices are really cool. i remember this book very well. it is one of my favorites. And yes, i'm from Boston!! ...JoAnne
