Reviews

School Library Journal

“This simple lesson in problem solving and being open to different solutions is a valuable one for young children. The soft pencil and watercolor illustrations are soothing and cheerful, well suited for young readers vicariously experiencing getting lost and separated from their families.”—School Library Journal

Booklist

“Foreman’s captivating pencil-and-watercolor artwork draws the narrative segments together. . . . With illustrations that show up well from a distance, this is a good choice for reading aloud in the classroom.”—Booklist Online

Kirkus Reviews

“[A] warm, sympathetic story of a young duck who loses his family but gains a mate. . . . A satisfying story with the feel of a classic, well told and beautifully illustrated.”—Kirkus Reviews
