Duck for a Day by Meg Mckinlay –ADVISABLE


McKinlay, Meg and illustrated by Rudge, Leila Duck for a Day 96 pgs. Candlewick, 2012. $10.39.  (Rating: G)
Abby and Noah are lucky to have the possible chance to take home the class pet! Which is a duck named Max! But Max has very specific needs, and they both must work hard to make their backyards a place where Max is allowed to stay over. Abby earns the chance to get Max first, sort of winning the competition. But when Max gets out –she is going to have to work with Noah to help get him back.
This was a cute book and a fun way of creating a new friendship between two neighbors. I think students will like idea of a duck as a class pet!
