Deeply colored, hazy illustrations enliven this barnyard tale of a mother duck who becomes separated from some of her precious ducklings. Booklist, ALA The illustrations are a wonderful combination of simplicity (the deceptively simple shapes of the animals and the two-dimensional spaces they inhabit) and complexity (paint texture, gorgeous color combination, and ever-changing compostion). Kirkus Reviews Dreifus's art pulses with lots of surface energy. Publishers Weekly This simple suspense story, and the circular plot provides a comforting bit of closure while listeners painlessly absorb both the counting lesson and the concept an even dozen. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Children will enjoy helping Mother Duck call to her lost children, and the information about ducks and their habits is a bonus. School Library Journal
