Peter Millet and the team at Scholastic provide us with a new picture book just in time for the start of the new year. A trip to school starts off well for the ducks but each one in turn forgets something. A sweet and comforting story about going to school. Great for new entrants but a good reminder for other children who might be a little anxious.
Stevie Mahardhika brings the characters to life with gorgeous and definitely very cute illustrations. The ducks splish and splash, they hurry and scurry and of course they quack, quack, quack.
Jay Laga’aia provides the singing on the accompanying CD which is cute and catchy and will no doubt be sung over and over again.
A fun book to share with young readers. You can enjoy a quiet read together or you can sing along loudly in the car on the way to school.
