BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
During the lockdown during the pandemic a family gets sick of everything inside and decides to go for a walk in the beautiful spring weather. Along the way they find two abandoned duck eggs that they want to take home and care for and keep them safe. They have a friend, Ted, who is a wildlife conservator and he helps them and shows them what to do. Ted loaned the family an incubator. While the eggs incubated, the family learned as much as they could about taking care of baby ducks.
It was fun to learn so much about how to care for duck eggs. Usually the chicks will hatch after 28 days. The story is part true and part made up. I enjoyed the vivid illustrations and especially the Author's Notes at the end of the book. This actually happened to his family during the pandemic! Read and enjoy, share this adorable story with your little one and with your very young students. I believe that if a parent or a teacher reads this book to young students, the interest in the book will be really high. Happy reading!
