(Templar Publishing, March 15, 2003)
Just in time for spring, hereÂ’s a sunny addition to our collection of successful embossed picture books, such as The Snow Bear and The Little Penguin. Little Duck hatches out of his egg all alone. Where is his family? He searches by the river, in the forest, and in the farmyard, but no place feels like home. With a lot of courage and help from some new friends, Little Duck discovers at last where he truly belongs. On every page, lavish embossing softly illuminates the lovingly rendered ducklings, bunnies, and chicks, along with their grassy habitats. Animal lovers of all ages will delight in this soothing story of homecoming and a familyÂ’s bond.
