Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
It is always a challenge choosing a book for the two-month-olds in the program. A two-month-old can neither focus on the pictures nor understand particular words. But it is still so important for a developing mind to hear their caregiver's voice and to hear different words, rhythm and rhyme. LITTLE WHITE DUCK is simply a fun read-aloud of a classic American song that we thought caregivers would enjoy reading or singing aloud.

My daughter is almost one now- but we have been reading this book since the beginning. She loves the songs and is now turning the pages. I even brought this book to my preschool class and we made puppets for each character and as I read the children get to act out the story! It is great fun!!!
- Sep 21, 2009I have not listened to the tune, but made up my own. He's 8 months old and I still sing this to Nathaniel when he gets cranky in the car. But, I wonder, when the mouse says there is nobody left in the water, where did the snake that scared the duck & frog away go?

My three month old loves this book. We lay on the floor on our backs and I hold this book over us. My infant loves to gaze at the pictures and he smiles as I read the rhymes throughout this short tale. The words create a nice rythem which captures his short attention span for the entire story. A recommended read. :)
