Eve's Ducklings by Maria Monte

 

I read an arc of this book from NetGalley with my 4 year old. He enjoyed that mishaps that occurred when Eve tries to pet the ducklings. 

We both enjoyed the illustrations. They were captivating. Especially the adorable ducklings. I enjoyed that Eve was not dressed in an overly girly way. This makes the book more accessible to boys and girls who would rather not dress in pink and bows. 

As parent I think further explanation about respecting wildlife’s space would not have been amiss. However this is not a significant detriment as it leaves it open for parents to insert their own “moral of the story”.
