Panama Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Cute story and picturebook! "

" i know that i read this in like 3rd grade. i certainly remember the cover, it won some little award too you can see the sticker for it on there. I could be getting this confused with Ping, which was about a pekin duck. ends happier than one might think "

" Although this charming book was originally published in the 1940's, my mom doesn't recall this gem from my childhood at all. A adorably sweet story of a duck family, Mr. and Mrs. Mallard, and their search for a proper home to build a nest and raise their young ducklings. Besides the pleasant illustrations, and sweet vocabulary, I love Boston, Massachusetts. Its a delight to relive some of the most notable attractions and introduce my favorite state to young children.

" Spanish translation of the classic that tells of the adventures of some ducks in a big city. Tiny type makes the book hard to read, and it is pretty lengthy. "
