Just Ducks!

A parent might reach for this book to nurture a child's budding curiosity about the natural world, or to share a quiet, calming moment together. This gentle book follows a child and their grandfather through a day of observing ducks at a pond. It beautifully illustrates the simple, everyday behaviors of these familiar birds, from dabbling for food to preening their feathers and taking flight at dusk. The emotional tone is one of peace, wonder, and the quiet joy found in paying close attention to nature. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, it's less a book of facts and more an invitation to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the world around us, making it a wonderful wind-down story for naptime or bedtime.
