The ducks seemed to enjoy it and the sheep thought the book was quite tasty. My husband quacked up that I would go and read a book to a couple of ducks. But he knows that that's just the sort of wacky thing I like to do. So, what are your favorite duck books? Robert Quackenbush has been a favorite of mine ever since I discovered Henry's Important Date when I was a kid. Now my kids--and my ducks--love his books too.

I love ducks to! :) They are the cutest animals ever! I've never had a duck myself, but I used to have a talking cockatiel called Percy haha!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a day! How fun! I worked at a zoo for two summers and one of my favorite things to do was walk a pair of Call Ducks named Drake and Decoy. They were so excited to be running up and down the hallway of the educational center. I wish I still worked there. They probably would have loved to hear a story.
ReplyDeleteI am now following you on Facebook! Congrats on your published books.
Oh my gosh, talking cockatiels! We had a couple of those when I was a kid. So cute! But ducks seem to win, at least on the comedy factor. Eric, Mike Jung made up Buy a Book About a Duck Day last year(you can learn about it on the link). It's just for fun. Maybe next year you can find some ducks to read to!
