Hello everyone! My name is Janice Jobey, author of “12 Little Ducks,” and I’d like to start this list off with my book.
“12 Little Ducks” is a charming tale of the Wood Duck hatchlings leaping from their tree nest. It will undoubtedly entertain and delight kids as they read the book. Readers will gain knowledge of the environment and behaviors of these fascinating “tree ducks.”
While every fledgling bird soars to the ground, kids will also be counting downward from 12 to zero. Every little duck jumps differently, but watch what happens when they’re all on the ground! This “nest” has literacy, math, science, and social studies all packed into one!

“The Story About Ping” by Marjorie Flack, Kurt Wiese (Illustrator)
Ping was an intrepid duck that resided on the Yangtze River in a stunning boat with smart eyes. He was content with his existence on the riverboat, his big family, and his loving master.
He disliked being the last person in line to get on the boat in the evening because that unfortunate duck would get a good scolding. When it appeared like Ping might be the final person in line, what did he do?
What better way to discover the amazing world that exists on the Yangtze River than to go out on his own?
