Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!

I bought this book for my 2 year old son and he just loves it! He often requests it for bedtime. It's a very sweet, classic story with beautiful illustrations and thoughtful, creative text. He loves the ending when the lost little duck find his mother and brothers and sisters and enjoys counting the ten little ducklings. He loves all of his classic Golden books, but I think this one seems very special to him because of its large size. The larger size also helps him to closely examine the pictures. I would highly recommend this book for any young child.

As good as it was 20 years ago.

I purchased several of the Big Little Golden Books for my grandson because of the memories I have from reading to my now grown children. I do not have any of my original Little Golden Books so this was a wonderful find! Same story, same pictures just a bigger version. I believe these are timeless.
