Will anyone believe this is actually my first time reading this book? You can tell why this title has had staying power, the first of the Caldecott winners to have that.

The art could have been better. I did like the story, but it could have been so much more with good art work. Story was okay.

A complete and utter classic of kids' literature; and it can't even be limited to kids! A touching and charming story about a mother duck just trying to get her little ducklings across busy Boston, the dangers they face, and the kindhearted people that do their best to help. Helped along by cute brown-sketch illustrations and a straightforward writing style that doesn't talk down to kids. I had my family read it to me over and over.

I love this book all the more because watching a line of ducklings cross the road is a common occurrence where I live. I particularly love the simple illustrations and the names of the ducklings are adorable (Ouack is the best).
