This book manages to teach your child a little about ducks and also has a bit of character development in it. The story is illustrated with photographs of the little duck, named Henry. (awww)Henry is found as an egg and brought home by a boy. You get to see Henry pop out of the egg and see what he eats and what he does with his first swim. Henry follows the boy around the farm and sits in grandpas lap and reads the paper. Hes getting bigger all the time. Henry gets lonely after the boy goes back to school....

This is probably my son's favorite book. My husband bought it for him while I was in the hospital in labor. He is almost two now and he still wants to read it almost every day. He only says 3 words so far and one of those is "quack" from the sound button on this book. I love the photos in this book too. It's just a fun book to read. ( )

This is one of my favorite information books. It teaches children about the life of a duck from when the egg is created all the way through to it's life as an adult. This book is appropriate for all ages because there are so many photos you can also use it as a picture book.
