Editorial Review:
Little Quack is a duck out of water. As his brothers and sisters splish, splash, and splosh their way into the pond behind their mama, he is left all alone on the shore. Little Quack wants to join his family. Can he find the courage to be a very small duck in a very big pond?
Count along and find out! The QUACK-U-LATOR keeps score, adding a splash of math to all the fun!
Little Quack Reviews:
What a cute book! 
2008-08-08 - My 2 year old daughter just loves all of the books in the Little Quack series. I would definitely recommend them!
"You can do it! I know you can!"
2008-07-16 - With characters named Widdle, Waddle, Piddle Puddle and Little Quack you know that your pre-schooler is bound to love this book. It's a cute little story about the ducks leaving the nest for their first big swim, and how Quack builds up the courage to leave the nest with lots of love and encouragement.
There are wonderful lessons here for little readers, but the best and most amazing part of this book are the fabulous expressions on the faces of all these little ducks! I didn't think it was possible to make ducks look all that different and show real emotion, but it's all here in this wonderful, entertaining book that will win raves from the kids and parents.
My husband and son love this book!
2008-07-01 - My husband and my mother love to read the Little Quack books to my son. My son is very interested in the pictures and it's the only books he'll sit through.
Adorable
2008-06-26 - This is a well-written book for toddlers--a fun story, with interesting language, that they can easily understand. It's got a good message, about not being afraid to try new things, and the illustrations are very cute and interesting. My 2-year-old is madly in love with Little Quack, and my 4-year-old likes to listen in too!
Dial Up No Less Than Five Ducks in Cute Counting Book 
2008-03-06 - Excellent story, could have done with a better design...
"Little Quack: Dial-a-Duck" is a board book and a counting book with an interesting concept. The book features a spinning wheel which can be used to "dial and count." The story itself is simple but cute -- Mama Duck patiently encourages her little ducklings one-by-one to take a dip in the water.
The only major problem with this book is the design. While the spinning wheel is a neat concept, it doesn't seem to stand up to wear well. As you spin it, you're supposed to see an increasing number of ducklings. But the wheel has a tendency to get stuck, and the ducklings are torn off easily. I can attest to this, as I have a copy currently checked out from the library that has most of the ducklings torn off.
This review is #2 in the series "Agent0042 Goes Ducky," in which I review books featuring cute ducks or duckling characters. The first was "Little Quack's New Friend".
