Have You Seen My Duckling

Have You Seen My Duckling is a fun book with colorful pictures that draw a reader into the story. There really isn't that much text in the book and where there is text it is the same on each page.
The book is about a mother duckling, who early in the morning checks on her chicks and notices that one has gone missing. The mother duck goes searching for her missing chick with her other ducklings. As readers look closely they can see where the chick is on every page, it makes for a fun activity while reading. Where and how does the mother find her missing duckling?
The book would be for a beginning reader who can understand the repetition when there is text. Other than for reading I feel the book can be used for all lower elementary grades, it has great pictures to follow along with and its fun to look for the missing duckling in each page as the mother wonders where it has gone.

  1. This does sound like an engaging book, catching the reader's interest by being able to look for the ducklings. Cecilia loves look and find books, so that aspect combined with the patterns would make it a perfect book for where she is at as a reader right now.
