Description

Make Way for Ducklings – 75th Anniversary Edition by Robert McCloskey

?

One of the unexpected benefits I discovered when working in downtown Boston was being able to take lunch breaks in the nearby Public Garden, with its curving paths, wide-spreading trees, and dreamy lagoon plied by Swan Boats. Looking around this landscape on a fine New England summer day, it¡¯s easy to see how it beckoned to the little feathered family who star in the 1941 children¡¯s book?Make Way for Ducklings (and who are now commemorated with their own statues in the park). McCloskey¡¯s Boston was very different from the one I came to know more than 50 years later, but his book remains timeless in its depictions of the Public Garden, the State House, Beacon Hill, and the Longfellow Bridge, as well as in the hope it offers that we can all find our little oasis in the big wide world.? ? ?¡ªJenn Johnson, Yankee senior managing editor

Celebrating 75 years of a cherished classic!
This brilliantly illustrated, amusingly observed tale of mallards on the move has won the hearts of generations of readers. Awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1941, it has since become a favorite of millions.

The 75th anniversary edition will include a full-color map of Boston, fancifully illustrated by Caldecott winner Paul Zelinsky. All the beloved landmarks will be included, like the State House, the Old North Church, and the Swan Boats in the Public Garden. Even the ducklings will make an appearance! A CD audio-recording of the book will be in the back, and the entire package will be shrink-wrapped and stickered–a ready-made gift!
