"Five Little Ducklings Go to School" is about a mama duck getting her five little ducklings ready for their first day of school. One of them is sad about it and starts to cry and that sets the others to crying as well. Mama Duck dries the tears and sends them off to school where they have lots of fun!
The illustrations are fantastic. I think the physical copy of this book is going to be wonderful. On an ereader, the words are kind of small and I had to squint to read, but maybe it won't be like that for all ereaders.
I think the book does a good job of validating a child's feelings of being sad or scared to part from their mother. A lot of people don't do that and they just shoo the kids away and say something like "no reason to cry, this will be fun!" which I believe invalidates the child's real feelings. This book does a good job of validating the feelings that some children may have of going back to school while also showing them all of the fun they will have while they are at school.
