Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey received the Caldecott Medal in 1941."Don't you worry," said Mrs. Mallard. "I know all about bringing up children." "And she did." Mothers can be a very determined bunch when it comes to raising their brood and this mother duck is no exception. Various people in parts of the busy city of Boston stop their activity to "make way for ducklings" as they quack and waddle their way to the perfect home.

Review:

Carolyn Brodie of School Library Media Activities writes, "This book was published sixty-eight years ago and has sold more than two million copies. Since receiving the Caldecott Medal in 1942 as "the most distinguished picture book for children," this timeless story has been shared by several generations of children."
