Customer Reviews

Another favorite childhood song

Even if you don't know this song, the rhythm of the lyrics, the story, and the illustrations will keep your child's attention to the end. The fact that it's been pc'd (everybody lives in the end because it was "just a play") is fine. It's less likely to be traumatic (as opposed to, say, Go Tell Aunt Rhody) for a small child. Another keeper. (*)>

A favorite of my 1 yo twins & Great for Signing

This book is great. I sang this book to my babies when they were only 4 months old, and they loved looking at the pictures. They still love the book and song. We always sing it in the car. After months of reading this book, we put it away for a couple of months but brought it back out when we started sign language. It is fun signing with this book with appearances by a little white duck, green frog, black bug, and red snake sitting, swimming, and playing in the water.

Little White Duck

A great sing along book that is perfect for pre-school age children. They love interacting, and with an easy tune to sing/read they will feel like they are reading the book too! As a former pre-school teacher, I look forward to reading and singing this book with my own children.

You can't help but sing along!

This song was one I had learned in pre-school, and I was thrilled to see it as a beautifully illustrated picture book. The large, bold pictures will work well in a lap or in a storytime. The text does not hamper the pictures, but neither is it lost or hard to read. A most enjoyable book!

Lots of Fun

We love this book! The rhymes flow so nicely making it very easy to read - or sing, if you know the song! Also, the illustrations are wonderful! The bright colors really help keep my young daughters attention!
