Not Good for Toddlers

My husband got this for our 13-month-old son. It's not a good book for toddlers or babies. I have no idea why they made a board book version. The picture is the same on each page, so my son gets bored and stops paying attention 2 or 3 pages in. It doesn't catch his eye or hold his interest at all. Save your money. This is not appropriate for young children. It's a cute concept, but it does NOT translate well to a children's book.

Easy, simple yet so much fun!

My kids love it!! The banter is so cute, the pictures are creative and it’s perfect for babies and toddlers. I’ve read it well over 20x at the request of my kids and it is one of the few books I’m happy to read on repeat. It’s as silly and entertaining as the reader makes it. Well done on this lovely book.

Fun and helpful

My second grade students enjoyed this book. We used it when we were learning about the character strength of "perspective." It is so important for them to believe there is more than one "right" way to see the world so they can still respect people whose opinions or perspective may be different from their own.

Captures the attention of young readers

My Niece is only 3 months but the book captures her attention. The black and white photos
Duck vs Rabbit. My brother will not allow pics of her but I wish I could show you how she sits and stares at the book. Every child should have Duck Rabbit in their book collection.

Cute book!

This book is so cute that I ordered another one for my grand baby to have at home. She’s only 5 months old, but she gets so happy when I read this book.
