 | New version is great Jan 15, 2008 |
This is a more sturdy that the previous version. Adding words is great. And it doesn't mean that you have to read the words when going through this book. We have all adlibbed, haven't we? It can be just a search book or a read to them book. Use it any way you want. It's great. It's bright, colorful, sturdy.

 | Why have words? Aug 25, 2007 |
This is a great book! My daughter loves it, as do I.
The only part that bugs me are the words. They say the duck has a beak, but don't ducks have bills? I would rather not read the words at all and just have fun looking at the pictures with my daughter. |

| Great book for babies... Apr 18, 2007 |
| This book is adorable, and my 8 1/2 mo. daughter loves it. The duck isn't too hard to find for young ones, the illustrations are really cute, and my favorite part is the baby looks just like my baby, down to the mop of curly hair and pudgy face. I'm definitely going to check out the other books in this series. Great choice for your little reader. |

| Disappointed that the new version added words! Jul 1, 2002 |
| If you were lucky enough to purchase this and the other books of this very unique children's series before 2000, then you got the version without words. I found this endearing because the books characters and the action taken by the little one reading the book needed no words to prompt him or her. Unfortunately the new version has words to accompany the pictures and kind of ruins it for me. Instead of "Find the Duck" it should be called "Your Mommy will read the words and tell you where the duck is!" And they also changed the size of the book (its now bigger and too heavy for the 2-4 age range of the book) and added color backgrounds to the covers. I still think the series makes a good gift. |

| My Baby's Favorite Book! Apr 23, 2002 |
| This book is perfect for reading to babies and toddlers! The pictures are vivid and eye-catching, and the text is very short, which is very good for those ultra-short attention spans!! Since I've heard so often that reading to babies is extremely beneficial, I started reading this book (and a few others) to my son every night when he was about 2 months old. I always read the text and also point out the duck on every page. It very quickly became his favorite, as he expressed by smiling and laughing when I brought it out. Well, now my son is almost 9 months old and when I read it to him today, he pointed to the duck on one of the pages and said, "du!" I think this book has definately made an impression! I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun book for their little one. :-) |
