Ducky Duck Doesn't Want to be a Duck by Jenny Loveless is
about a duck who wants to be anything else but a duck. Together with
his friends, Ducky goes through different identities in a humorous
little adventure.
What an excellent book for children. I read it with my 6-year-old
niece and 8-year-old nephew. They both love the fact that there are
colorful, big pictures on each page and that the texts are just the
right amount with just the right size. The prose is straightforward
and easy for the kids to read or learn to read. We finished the book
in two sittings in one day. We could have finished it in one sitting
but unfortunately I, as an adult, had things to do -- much to my niece
and nephew's protest. In fact, my lovely niece requested that I
include this book as one of her regular bedtime stories.
Behind this funny, colorful, and imaginative story is an imperative
and deep message for the children: learn to love and accept yourself.
Brilliant work from author Jenny Loveless. She definitely knows how to
write for children and make them love her stories. I am happy to
recommend this book to any parents who want to make sure that their
children are entertained and educated at the same time. I am going to
check out Jenny Loveless' other works and I am planning to make her
books as the primary fun-learning source for the children.
