Charming story

My children and I have loved reading this book over and over again. I have also given this book as a gift to a lot of friends with children and all have enjoyed it. Those who have been lucky enough to visit Tokyo have really gotten a kick out of crossing Uchibori Dori and searching for the duck house in the Imperial Moat. I completely recommend it!

Top picks

This is about a mother duck and her babies.The ending part or the search party part is sad.But it's a good book if you like suspense.
