“Make Way for Ducklings” by Robert McCloskey
When I went to Boston last year, I ran into several beautiful bronze statues of all these little ducklings. Boston inspired Robert McCloskey to write this lovely story about Mr. and Mrs. Mallord and their family that they raised in the heart of Boston. After the ducklings are born and unable to fly, they must make their way on foot across the city to Mr. Mallord. This means crossing dangerous roads filled with impatient drivers. Read how the city opens its heart to this family and "Makes Way for Ducklings."
“Nate the Great” by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
I, Nate the Great, am one of the world’s greatest detectives. Unfortunately, I’m on the trail for a missing painting a day late. I hate cold trails.
Suspects… first there’s Annie, completely obsessed with yellow, but since she drew it, she’s probably innocent.
Then there’s Fang, Annie’s somewhat vicious looking dog. Of course the picture is of him so it doesn’t make sense that he would take it.
And how about Rosamund - if Annie is obsessed with yellow, Rosamund is obsessed with cats. Cat lovers do not take pictures of dogs. I, Nate the Great, must think of everything.
Finally, there’s Annie’s little brother, Harry. Hmmm… little brothers can be into everything. Did he take the picture? Will this search have a happy ending? I, Nate the Great, am on the case, so you can bet that I will not rest without an answer.
