This book teaches children everything they need to know about Ducks. I think this is a great book to use in a science class when learning about ducks, because the book provides easy language and good illustrations for children. The illustrations are done in a way where there are lines provided to teach children what each part of the duck is called and used for. The book provides plenty of information on all the different types of ducks there are, and how they use their bodies to get around, and how they communicate with one another. I think this book is very educational while put in a way that children will understand. Very great book, I would definitely use this in a classroom setting. ( )
