Book Reviews of Little Quack Dial-a-Duck
Book Review: Dial Up No Less Than Five Ducks in Cute Counting Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent story, could have done with a better design...
"Little Quack: Dial-a-Duck" is a board book and a counting book with an interesting concept. The book features a spinning wheel which can be used to "dial and count." The story itself is simple but cute -- Mama Duck patiently encourages her little ducklings one-by-one to take a dip in the water.
The only major problem with this book is the design. While the spinning wheel is a neat concept, it doesn't seem to stand up to wear well. As you spin it, you're supposed to see an increasing number of ducklings. But the wheel has a tendency to get stuck, and the ducklings are torn off easily. I can attest to this, as I have a copy currently checked out from the library that has most of the ducklings torn off.
This review is #2 in the series "Agent0042 Goes Ducky," in which I review books featuring cute ducks or duckling characters. The first was "Little Quack's New Friend".
Summary of Little Quack Dial-a-Duck
Mama Duck thinks it's time for her offspring to paddle across the pond, but the ducklings aren't so sure. Eventually Widdle, Waddle, Piddle and Puddle take the plunge, leaving Little Quack out of the water by himself, feeling very unhappy. But Mama Duck helps Little Quack gain a little more confidence in himself, so he can make a splash.Birds Books
