Dominic's Ducks at the Zoo

Officer Dominic has found a safe home at the City Zoo for seven orphaned ducklings. The Duck Pond—with its lily pads, reeds, frogs, and insects—is a lovely home, but Chief, the ducklings’ unofficial leader, can’t stay put for long. When he decides to explore the zoo, adventure awaits! Chief meets a lumbering tortoise, a majestic lion, fishing flamingoes, preening egrets, trumpeting elephants, and a gassy hippopotamus. He’s thrilled with his new discoveries. Eventually, though, Chief becomes tired and homesick, and he longs to return to the Duck Pond. There’s just one problem: he can’t find his way back.Charming and beautifully illustrated, Dominic’s Ducks At The Zoo is a delightful read-aloud book for young children. It is also an excellent choice for beginning readers. Educators will find it helpful in teaching skills like counting and making predictions. They’ll also appreciate the lesson on kindness that comes in the form of a Tortoise Taxi! Like its predecessor, Dominic’s Ducks, Dominic’s Ducks At The Zoo is a sweet and gentle story that will please both children and the adults who care for them.
