Customer Reviews

Hooray for imagination!

This is a very cute, and very funny book that encourages kids to use their imagination, even when adults try to stifle it. I know exactly how this little girl felt when her teacher told her that ducks didn't wear shoes.

My new Favorite children's book

This book was given to us and has become my favorite children's book. It celebrates creativity, imagination and is beautifully illustrated. I'm buying 5 more copies as gifts for my best friends and their children.

Ordered for school

I found My Duck to be a wonderful tale for children and as a first-grade teacher ordered copies of the book for two of my classes.

Delightful

This is a delightful book. The drawings are charming; the story engaging. It emphasizes the importance of imagination and giving children's creativity free rein.

My Duck

This is an excellent book about the creativity and persistance of children. As the little girl's story characters take on a life of their own and follow her from story to story, the reader learns that a child's creativity can transcend "you can't do that." Adults can also take note of the subtle warning about squashing a child's imagination. The bright and colorful illustrations add a great deal to the story.
