Make Way for Ducklings
Recommended. Age: 6+. A Catholic review of this book for parents.
Our review
Mr. and Mrs. Mallard look for a safe place to raise their baby ducks. Mrs. Mallard leads her eight ducklings across busy Boston streets. A kind policeman named Michael stops the cars so they can cross. A warm classic about parents who give their best for their children and neighbors who help. Nothing in it works against the faith.
For parents
Age 6+, set by Lumen's read-alone age. Read aloud from 3; Common Sense Media says 2 and up, the publisher 4 to 7. Ask how Mrs. Mallard cared for her ducklings, and how Mom and Dad care for you. Ask who helped the ducks, and whom we can help.
