Cute picture book on being kind to animals. Eve learned that she couldn't do whatever she wanted when it came to handling the ducklings. I would use this during storytime.

A sweet story of a young girl and her grandfather taking trips to the park, where they discover ducklings. I love how her grandpa allows her to discover boundaries with wild animals on her own, a great lesson for children. The illustrations were cute.

Such a cute little story about leaving wildlife alone in their natural habitat and appreciating their beauty from a distance. My 3 year old is obsessed with ducks lately every time we go for a walk around our community pond, so she really enjoyed this story. The illustrations are stunning.

This was a sweet book about a day at the park. My kids often want to try and catch the ducks, so I liked that this book addressed that. The illustrations were cute and I loved that Eve went to the park with her grandpa ❤️ But not much happened. It just kind of ended.

Super cute! It sends a message about how to respect wildlife in a way I think children will easily be able to understand

I couldn’t help but be captivated by this simple yet endearing story of a little girl’s efforts to make friends with ducklings she sees while out walking with her grandfather. The illustrations evoke memories of childhood and beautifully underscore the story’s message of kindness and love, both between a child and her grandfather as well as of a child’s journey of discovery learning about animals.

Cute little book about teaching respect for nature and letting the animals be. Interactions can be nice or not so nice as Eve experiences.

This is such a sweet story about Eve and her grandfather seeing ducklings at the lake. This is a great way to teach your children to be kind to animals when out in their natural habitats. It’s an adorable story and a must read!

This was an adorable picture book with an engaging message about being kind to animals.

Eve and her Grandad take daily walks to the park to see the ducklings and being an inquisitive child, Eve wants to get closer to the ducklings to hold, hug, pet etc. The consequences of this are humorously told in the illustrations until Eve realises the one thing she CAN do to the ducklings!

I loved the relationship between Eve and her Grandad, and I particularly liked how the duck food is sunflower seeds (not bread!) at the end.

Overall, a great story to share with little ones!

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this as an eARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a cute and short picture book. I really liked the art and found the illustrations to be my favorite part of the story, The main character and the ducks were all adorable!

This follows a girl named Eve who goes to the lake with her Grandpa and wants to pet ducklings, I thought the story was fine, but I think it should have been a bit more explicit in saying that Eve shouldn’t try to touch the ducklings at all. While Eve did have some consequences for trying to touch them (the mama duck chasing after her, her falling in the water), the Grandpa never really fully stopped her and I think he should have explained that she shouldn’t try to touch the ducklings. (rating: 3.5/5)

My daughter and I read this book together and enjoyed guessing what would happen to Eve as she tried to get closer to the ducklings. This was a sweet book for kids that has a great lesson of patience.

This is a sweet and simple story about a little girl with her grandpa, leaning about how to be kind to ducklings and finding her reward. The illustrations, have lovely pastel tones, and both the animals and the girl and grandpa have warm characterization. The book has a warm and caring tone and would be a lovely book to share with a young child.

What an amazing story! So charming and the characters are so cute! Can't wait to read more from this great author!

A cute, short story that young children can easily follow and enjoy.

Eve is a little girl who goes on daily walks with her grandpa. During one of these walks they spot some ducklings. Eve becomes fascinated by them, wanting to get close to them and play with them. Obviously, this doesn’t happen, no matter how hard she tries. After a few days, she chooses to play on the park equipment while the ducklings play and frolic in the water. She later returns with her grandpa to feed them, but they have disappeared, still she sprinkles some feed onto the floor anyways. Soon, she is joined by her little ducklings friends and their mother and they happily enjoy the seeds she has left for them.

I think the children at my setting will enjoy this story. I can see them sitting and listening as Eve attempts to make contact with the ducklings.

Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this ebook.

This is a very sweet book, with eye catching illustrations, and has adorable baby animals! Very appealing to any child above the age of 4, and even 3, if the child is an early reader. It's quite simple for a child to read on its own as well. I really like that this story explains that it's not a good idea to approach baby animals- it's frightening for them and triggers a fight instinct in the mother animals! Cute story, and a nice buy.

This is a great book for young children! The illustrations are beautiful the message about how to interact with animals in a way that isn't harmful to them is such an important one.

A beautifully written book with a gentle, yet heartfelt message of the importance of being kind to animals. Eve's curiosity is just delightful and her determination to connect with the ducklings is endearing. This book evoked some of my childhood memories of feeding ducks and the bond I shared with my grandfather.
An inspiring story with the most beautiful illustrations

Oh this was adorable. The illustrations were cute, the story was simple but really sweet, funny and easy to follow.

This short book reminded me of when I used to go to the lake with my grandfather, as a child. I too wanted to get closer to the ducklings and pat them.

Apart from being a cute little story, Eve’s Ducklings is also about respecting animals and learning to interact with them. Eve learns that wild animals are not supposed to be held or touched, but that giving sunflower seeds to the ducks might convince them to come closer. It is about being patient and accepting that you can’t always get exactly what you want the way you want it, but that there usually is a middle ground or another way to please everyone.

I would easily recommend this book for small children, especially the ones who love animals!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC!

This is a cute book that shows how not to interact with wildlife. The illustrations are pretty and the story is a good opening of how not to act with ducks.

I have received an Arc for this book but the review is honest.
The artwork in the book is gorgeous. The intent is there but have to say I did not get the point of animal cruelty as an adult. For a kid to understand that harassing animals is not good might not comes across.
