A Quacky National Buy a Book About a Duck Day Reading

I love my ducks. Whenever I go outside they greet me with their jovial quacking. They sound like they're laughing. It makes me smile every time. Since it's National Buy a Book About a Duck Day I thought it would be a great way to celebrate by reading our ducks a book! We got Henry Goes West by Robert Quakenbush. (Ducks love books by Robert Quackenbush!) Here we are reading:


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.

  2. I 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.

    I am now following you on Facebook! Congrats on your published books.
