I strongly suggest this book to any of you with young children. We enjoyed this book together more than we have any other. My son, who's four, loved me reading it aloud to him. There are a few sentences on most pages and they're easy enough for young readers to make out. They're bright and goofy and really draw your attention. I believe I'm going to be walking around singing 'I Gotta Pea' for a few weeks!įrom a child's perspective, the illustrations really make the book. I found myself youtubing them so that I could share with my Facebook friends! Though the book and songs are directed towards children, I found them hilarious and enjoyed them just as much as my son. In the back of the book there's a CD with several songs on it. The ARC copies aren't furnished with the sound component for the book so I wasn't able to check that out, but I'm betting it's as wonderful as the rest of the book. I am in love with this book! I found myself giggling through it from the very first page.

A pesky duck keeps walking up every day asking him for grapes! How long will his temper hold out? Will the poor, pesky duck ever get his grape? Lemonade Stand just wants to sell some lemonade. In the back of the book there's a CD with severa Mr. A pesky duck keeps walking up every day asking him for grapes! How long will his temper hold out? Will the poor, pesky duck ever get his grape? I am in love with this book! I found myself giggling through it from the very first page. The lyrics to the song are almost exactly what's printed (with the addition of a few waddles here and there) and kids can 'read' along with the book as it sings to them. Apparently, they sing to you! I think it's a great way to make the book fun for kids, especially as a way to begin reading. Included with the book was information on the condition of the finished copies. It's a fun song to listen to, especially if you have kids, but I'm going to warn you- It has a really catchy tune and the story is simple enough you'll probably pick it up after one or two read/sing throughs, and it's really hard to get out of your head once it's there. It was a song and a youtube video before it was published as a book, and apparently pretty popular on youtube. It has 12 kid friendly tracks on it, including 'The Duck Song'. The only thing that saved me from a third read through was the CD that came with the book. So, imagine my surprise when I finish reading this one and get an immediate, "Read it to me again Ashley." That's pretty impressive, coming from two kids under 5.

Get us, umm, nine!" It's about the same with the bed time stories. When I try, I get an exasperated, "We've already read that one Ash. My nephews are at the stage right now where they are a little bit indignant if you try to read them the same one more than once. The words are repetitive and move well, making it interesting for kids to listen too and the illustrations (which I understand were done by someone around 14) are bright and easy for kids to understand are something they will enjoy looking at. Once I got my copy, I read through it once and then brought it to my sister's to read with my nephews. I didn't know that it had originally been a bit of a big deal on youtube. The book looked cute, and fun, so I was pretty excited when I got my copy. When offered the chance to review The Duck Song by Bryant Oden, I accepted because my nephews (not quite 3 and almost 5) love books, and they are always appreciative when I bring them something new.
