Book Synopsis



NATIONAL BESTSELLER - CALDECOTT MEDAL WINNER - The timeless and brilliantly illustrated classic that teaches the importance of kindness, perseverance, and familial love--now in a stunning board book edition perfect for cherishing for years to come!

"One of the merriest picture books ever."--The New York Times

Mrs. Mallard was sure that the pond in the Boston Public Gardens would be a perfect place for her and her eight ducklings to live. But when the busy streets of Boston become too risky for her and her family to navigate, the local police step in to make sure Mrs. Mallard and her ducklings--Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack--make it to their new home safely. A beautiful portrayal of one duck family's devotion and perseverance, this board book is a wonderful representation of how families overcome hard times together and a compassionate reminder to trust in the goodness of humanity. Let the Mallard family waddle right off the page and into your child's heart!

About the Author



Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published. He grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, and spent time in Boston, New York, and ultimately Maine, where he and his wife raised their two daughters.

The first ever two-time Caldecott Medal winner (for Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder), McCloskey was also awarded Caldecott Honors for Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Journey Cake, Ho! by Ruth Sawyer. He was declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000. You can see some of his best-loved characters immortalized as statues in Boston's Public Garden and Lentil Park in Hamilton, Ohio.

Love this book, arrived with a smashed corner

Love this book and buy it often to accompany a baby gift. However, this arrived with a slightly smashed corner of the book which is not ideal, espcialy when gifting.
