My Review: This was a really cute book and my almost 7 year old and I read it together {with my 10 year old daughter quickly deciding to listen as well}. This book is a wonderful example of how friendships can make it through distances by using a little boy and a duck as an example. The friendship that you hold in your heart is never forgotten by either person. And, after time, those visits to see each other get more and more special and your bond can still continue to grow.
Perfect, too, for those who are new at experiencing having a friend move away. A great addition to any children's library. I always enjoy the books that truly show a bond between a human and an animal as well. So that was an added bonus for me.
