Book Description
Mallory is a very forgetful duck. She can’t remember where she left her nest. She sets out along the Chesapeake Bay to find it, but soon stumbles upon a nest that is NOT her own. Along her journey Mallory meets several mother birds, including a Canada Goose, an Osprey, a Great Blue Heron, and an Oystercatcher. Each of their nests is made of different materials, has a distinctive clutch of colorful eggs, and occupies a different habitat. But will Mallory ever track down her own nest and her own eggs? Follow Mallory the Forgetful Duck in her quest to find her nest and find out why her own eggs are more special than any others. Large, color illustrations make this tale a great book for children in grades Pre-K to 3.
My Thoughts
Mallory the Forgetful Duck is the perfect book for spring time nature study with your little ones. The book is beautifully illustrated and the concept is simply adorable. Mallory is a delightful duck that show your child other types of birds and ducks along with their distinct eggs and nests as Mallory seeks to find her own nest. You child can anticipate and cheer Mallory on as she attempts to find her own nest of eggs. The book is a wonderful catalyst for studying eggs and fowl. You may want your children to draw the different types of birds or eggs they find in the story. Why not have your children build a nest out of yarn, twig, and paper? The book became a quick favorite of my child who is fascinated with birds. A lovely choice to place in this year’s Easter basket.
