The Mr. and Mrs. Mallard meet Officer Michael who occasionally feed them peanuts and help them around the city. When the ducklings are hatched and have grown a little Mr. Mallard decides to take a trip down the river and tells Mrs. Mallard to meet him at the Public Garden in one week. This is when the Mallards decide to move the ducklings to the Public Garden where it is easier to find food. Mrs. Mallard walks her children threw the city to the Public Garden with the help of Officer Michael and four other Boston Police Officers. When they finally reached the Public Garden they make a new home on the small island in the middle of the Public Garden.

As a small child I believe that this book made

them rhyme with the word duck. Their names are Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack. By the end you are so tongue-tied that you wonder if you can make it through the next sentence. Over all the language in this story is fairly easy and most children who know how to read can read this story. Whether they understand what the story is trying to relay to them may depend on each child and their ability to understand what they read.

I believe that the intended audience for this children’s book should be aimed at the older children who know what the meaning of family is, and how important for them to be safe. This story is aimed at both boys and girls because it shows the concept of family and that all must be involved. It also is aimed at family values. I think that is why I liked the story so much as a child.
