Duck on a Bike Hardcover – Picture Book, April 1, 2002

A delightful tale & beautiful illustrations! Bought one for my kindergartener & one for his teacher. 🩷

For me, any book that can be acted, as much as read aloud, is a book that I want to share with my listeners and one that I would definitely recommend to you. This book is both those things. The ingenious text invites you to mimic the farm animals and be the most spirited reader you can be. In the hands of a dedicated reader and/or a devoted parent, this title will prove an exceedingly satisfying read. The illustrations are gorgeous and can be most appreciated in the arms of a child while he/she studies them up close. The clever ending will hopefully tempt your son or daughter to say, "Uh-oh, what's he up to now?" and foster a discussion with him/her about what might happen to Duck next. This is one of the best examples of contemporary literature for young children because it so artfully combines smart writing with outstanding illustrations. Again, like so many of the books I've presented to my audiences at the Children's Museum, this is a book that should be included in your young child's library because it will undoubtedly be read over and over and enjoyed till it's worn.

I first bought this book at a book fair at my son's school when he was 4. He's now 12 and I cannot count how many copies of this book I have purchased for gifts over the years. It's great for girls and boys alike. The story is so engaging for young ones, and the pictures are so bright and colorful. My kids laugh from beginning to end every time! And the message is one I love...never be afraid to try something...even if others think you shouldn't or you can't. Kids like to read the same book over and over, night after night, and this is one I NEVER get tired of reading. I have a younger son now too and he loves this book too now! I also recommend 'How I Became A Pirate' by the same author (David Shannon). But that one is probably better for boys. This one is great for any child.

We all love reading this book. It’s cute and funny. My 18mo. Old loves all the animals.

So many wonderful times reading this book! I originally bought this book years ago to read to my niece. For several years we read it over and over again, thrilled each time to laugh together reading the fabulous words and inspecting the hilarious pictures. Approximately 10 years later I bought the same book for my daughter and had the same experience. She even chose it as the book she wanted me to read to her first grade class when I volunteered one special day. It was a hit!! I recently bought this book as a baby gift for a dear friend if mine so that she and her son can enjoy it in the coming years. Even as an adult reading to a child, it is simply entertaining... even after reading it for the 100th time!

I work in the library reading children's books to preschoolers. My all time favorite book. Wonderful illustrations and plenty of opportunities to let the children guess what will happen next. There is also a follow up book, Duck on a Tractor. Very nice but I prefer the original.

We originally checked this one out of the library, but we had to purchase it as it's a favorite repeat! What amazing artwork!!! Bold, beautiful, and totally engaging! The story is very funny, even to the youngest set. For my son, it's been a wonderful introduction to the concept of "thinking" and how to express and wonder about what someone else might be "thinking". It is definitely on our current "top 10" list of our all-time favorite books! Thank you for the duck at "The End" eying that tractor and scratching his chin... perhaps a sequel????

Funbook. Children love it. Well illustrated

Este libro lo vieron en clase y mi hijo de 4 años me pidio que se lo comprara, esta muy creativo, y habla de todos los animales de la granja, esta pdre como para que repase los nombres de los animales en ingles. Es un libro muy divertido,

Otro cuento para enseñar los animales de la granja en inglés a niños de 3 a 5 años o incluso para primer grado de primaria.

Lovely book.Great for working on predicting skills in year 1!

What can I say? This book is a lot of fun. My students, in my pre kindergarten class, LOVED this story to begin with and adding the CD read-a-long made it so much more fun. They kept asking to reread it over and over again.The quality of this book is wonderful, I forsee it lasting for many readings in the future.The CD itself is a great companion to the book. It has more than one option for reading. You have the option to use prompts to turn the page or have the book read to you.I highly recommend adding this to your audio library.

the children in my year R class love it
