Have You Seen My Duckling?

Excerpt from

Have You Seen My Duckling?–

A Duckling is missing!

"Have you seen my Duckling?"
asks Mother Duck as she sails
frantically around the pond,
the rest of her brood behind
her.

"Have you seen my duckling?"

None of the pond residents has,
not heron,not turtle, not beaver,
not fish.

But clever viewers can see that
duckling isn't lost,just adventuring–

and never very far away.

From School Library Journal: (starred review)

Children will return to this one again and again... a reassuring story of youthful independence and familial love.

From Publishers Weekly:

In this Caldecott Honor winner, a mother duck loses her eighth duckling, and asks the other pond animals for help (though the missing one is never lost, only cleverly concealed in each picture). "Children will giggle as they glimpse the hider, a feature that makes the book a game as well as a story and a series of lovely paintings," PW decided.

From The New York Times Book Review:

"Nancy Tafuri... always manages to flavor her splendid pictures with humor and interesting detail."
