We read this book just after visiting the swan boats in Boston! My 4 year old loves talking about how he saw the actual home of the ducklings! Great read!

We just bought this for our son's 4th birthday. We have read it just once, but he enjoyed it and I expect to read it many more times. A classic story sure to touch a child's heart.

Make way for downtime
March 28, 2007
With an ongoing project of integrating my grandchildren's libraries with the classics of children's literature, I purchased Make Way for Duckings for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves it! She carries it around, "reads" it to her 9 month old brother, and has to have it read to her every day. This is a true classic that has stood the test of time. I believe this book is better understood by a 4-6 year old, because it requires a longer attention span than most younger children have. In our fast-paced world of non-stop action, it is easy to see why this quiet story with monochromatic drawings would not appeal to some children. As a former kindergarten teacher, I know that quiet, calm activites need to be interspersed with energetic activities throughout the day. Make Way for Ducklings would be just the thing for a quiet downtime read.

My husband and I found this book to be very long and very boring. The illustrations are very cute, but they can't make up for a story line that isn't interesting at all. We dreaded reading it so much that we finally just sold it at a garage sale.
