Mama’s Little Duckling, by Marjorie Blain Parker, tells the
story of a mama duckling and her efforts to keep her duckling, Dandelion
Duckling, safe while also allowing him to explore his world. The author makes
the story even more interesting by use of alliteration. We enjoy reading about all of
Dandelion’s adventures with his friends.
In addition to enjoying the story, a parent can use this
book to help a child who is questioning boundaries. The duckling learns how much his mama loves him through her
actions. A surprise ending shows
the love Dandelion has for his Mama.
This is a great book for a mother and her children to learn from
together.
