My daughter is obsessed with ducks right now. She calls herself "Baby Duck" and if I do not call her that, she corrects me. I am, of course, "Mama Duck." So this is a perfect time for finding all the books we can find about ducks.
Below I've included a huge list of books. Some of them have my explanation as to why we love them, but others are more self-explanatory or simply good books with less for me to say about them. I've included affiliate links for your convenience.
A duck picture book list without these books on it would be missing something great indeed.
These ones are much newer than the classics already mentioned, but I think they will withstand the years and remain solid recommendations when one is looking for duck picture books.
Lots of picture book for little ones come with sequels, more sequels, and yet more! Ducks are simply beloved, as these picture books show.
Ducks seems to be a beloved topic of picture books for little kids. Here are just a few that I found!
If I find more books or if you bring one to my attention, I'll find a copy of it, read it, and add it to the list above with a brief annotation.
Soon, I'll have a full picture book cross-curricular lesson and worksheet set all about ducks. I'm also making some fun freebies for you!

She loves flowers. The beautiful springtime is finally showing us tiny green buds and she cannot wait to

I’ve fallen in love with word links (also called word ladders, word golf, or doublets): games that change just one letter at a time to get to a completely different word. The game of word links were created by Lewis Carroll in 1877. My son, although a very strong reader, did struggle with vocabulary as a first

I have always been fascinated by how marvelously the water cycle works for us on earth. Even the Lord recycles! He takes water that has rained on to the earth and given life to the plants and trees (and us too!), then He lets it collect and evaporate into the air, where it is condensed

After our participation in the Chicago Wildlife Watch project, I decided to use woodland animals as our nonfiction topic for my story times at our homeschool co-op this week! We began with some great books (both fiction and nonfiction) and then jumped in to forest animals activities in science stations!

I’ve been creating units for kindergarten using picture books to introduce the poetic concepts of rhythm, rhyme, and metaphor. Today I thought I’d write about another picture book that would help in teaching older children about metaphors in poetry: Red Sings from Treetops by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski.
