“Classic” Picture Books
MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS
1. BIBLIOGRAPHY
McCloskey, Robert. 1941. MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS. New York, New York: Puffin Books. ISBN 0140564349
2. PLOT SUMMARY
This picture book is about two ducks finding the perfect home for their family. They are flying and checking out all their options. They find what they think is the perfect place, Public Garden, but then a bike almost hits one of the ducks, so they decide to look elsewhere. Then, they really do find the perfect place. It is a little ways from the Public Gardens, but it was going to be the best place to have her ducklings. After she has her ducklings she trains them to be the best. Next, they start to travel to Public Gardens and it was an adventure.
3. CRITICAL ANALYSIS
This book is very simple, yet detailed. The pictures are not in color, but tell the story so perfectly. McCloskey illustrations are so expressive that they tell the story by themselves. This book is perfect to show children how much our mothers care for us because she wants to find just the right place. It shows that we should put others before ourselves. I like how McCloskey uses the community to take care of the ducks.
4. REVIEW EXCERPT (S)
Boston Globe- Caldecott Award
From Good Reads- “ “Make Way for Ducklings” is a Caldecott Medal award-winning book by Robert McCloskey and it is about how a family of ducks tries to live in the city of Boston. “Make Way for Ducklings” is a brilliant classic book that children will read over and over again.”
5. CONNECTIONS
This would be a good book to read if you were explaining finding a home for your family. I think you could also talk about how family is very important and always will be. This is a book that will always be around and be read. It is important to show children how books are passed down from generation to generation.
