Original, laugh-out-loud funny, and awfully sweet—in short, a quackin’ good time.
—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
The rhyming text rolls along in a satisfying way, accompanied by gentle, playful ink-and-watercolor illustrations that effectively portray the family and their surroundings. . . A lovable picture book that’s fun to read aloud.
—Booklist
The sunny palette, singsong rhymes, and ragtag collection of funny, wide-eyed creatures keep this family story engaging and surprising all the way to the bedtime end.
—The Horn Book
The rhyme of this picture book flows well, and the prose includes chances for children to complete rhyming sentences, mimic noises or practice simple counting and addition. The sweet and lovely illustrations lend themselves to the adventurous nature of the story by encouraging children to look for the ducks, look for the imposters and compare and contrast which of the ducks are not like the others. Seven Little Ducklings is sure to go down as a quacking classic.
—BookPage
A joyous celebration of diversity and nurturing, this is a book to enliven story hours and one that children will want to share with friends and family.
