BOOK REVIEW: HAPPY NATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY!

​What a fun holiday. I’m sure you’re not surprised to read that I have the perfect picture book recommendation to recommend for today:

​TITLE: JUST DUCKY: A FRIENDSHIP TAKES FLIGHT
AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Berrie Torgan-Randall
PUBLISHER: Cardinal Rule Press
OPENING LINES:
“Good morning, Campers,” says Counselor Carla. “It’s swimming day! I hope everybody remembered to bring their—”
“QUACK! That’s how to say HI in duck. This is Bill. He’s a really good swimmer. Ducks have feathers and wings AND can fly,” says Ducky.
“Thank you, Margaret. As I was saying—”
“CALL ME DUCKY. I know everything about ducks.”

Margaret (aka Ducky) knows all about ducks, so she shares duck facts with everyone she meets. That includes Marvin who is not so wild about hearing Ducky go on and on and on. In time, Ducky and Marvin both learn something new and find enough common ground to become friends. This book is so relatable! How often does a child become so excited about one topic that it becomes an obsession to the point that it annoys others? This story shows how “Ducky” both teaches and learns something in a day at camp and, as a result, gains a friend. Adorable illustrations and characters, plus themes of understanding, friendship, and acceptance make this book a winner!
