I really like this story with it's "Me too!" refrain. I also like the ending and it's message. 4/11/12

Not sure this worked for lap time, maybe I'll have to go back to [b:Little White Duck|767352|Little White Duck|Walt Whippo|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1178168075s/767352.jpg|753417]

70s artistic!

My daughter is a beginning reader. One of the books she recently picked to read to me was The Chick and the Duckling by Mirra Ginsburg.

The book is about two eggs who hatch: a chick and a duckling. The duckling takes charge and chick wants to do everything the duckling is doing. That works fine until the duckling discovers swimming!

As the book is designed for beginning readers, it has a lot of repetition and simple, easy to sound out words. For me sitting through the story, it's pretty dull, but for Harriet it was perfect. She was able to read it and found the story (such as it is) humorous.

I love the art in this book. The colors are sweet, the chick and the duckling are adorable and recognizable. The story is the right length for Susanna at 18 months, but it's not her favorite and she often doesn't make it through the whole thing.
