[LM_NET] ELEM: BOOK REVIEW: The Duck Who Played the Kazoo by Amy E. Sklansky, illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

The Duck Who Played the Kazoo by Amy E. Sklansky, illustrated by 
Tiphanie Beeke. Clarion, 2008. 978-0-618-42854-0

As a story of music and friendship or as a support for curriculum 
units on migration in primary grades, Sklansky's picture book is a 
gem of poetic language and repetition.  Combined with Beeke's 
appealing trademark watercolor and mixed media illustrations in soft 
and magical colors, Duck's story of loneliness and friendship found 
through courage and ingenuity shimmers with hope and good 
cheer.  Hand out kazoos to double the participation and 
fun.  Suggested ages: 4-7.
