Make Way for Ducklings - 75th Anniversary Edition by Robert McCloskey

 

One of the unexpected benefits I discovered when working in downtown Boston was being able to take lunch breaks in the nearby Public Garden, with its curving paths, wide-spreading trees, and dreamy lagoon plied by Swan Boats. Looking around this landscape on a fine New England summer day, it’s easy to see how it beckoned to the little feathered family who star in the 1941 children’s book Make Way for Ducklings (and who are now commemorated with their own statues in the park). McCloskey’s Boston was very different from the one I came to know more than 50 years later, but his book remains timeless in its depictions of the Public Garden, the State House, Beacon Hill, and the Longfellow Bridge, as well as in the hope it offers that we can all find our little oasis in the big wide world.     —Jenn Johnson, Yankee senior managing editor

Celebrating 75 years of a cherished classic!
This brilliantly illustrated, amusingly observed tale of mallards on the move has won the hearts of generations of readers. Awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1941, it has since become a favorite of millions.

The 75th anniversary edition will include a full-color map of Boston, fancifully illustrated by Caldecott winner Paul Zelinsky. All the beloved landmarks will be included, like the State House, the Old North Church, and the Swan Boats in the Public Garden. Even the ducklings will make an appearance! A CD audio-recording of the book will be in the back, and the entire package will be shrink-wrapped and stickered--a ready-made gift!

Robert McCloskey
Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published. He grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, and spent time in Boston, New York, and ultimately Maine, where he and his wife raised their two daughters. The first ever two-time Caldecott Medal winner, for Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder, McCloskey was also awarded Caldecott Honors for Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Journey Cake, Ho! by Ruth Sawyer.  He was declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000.  You can see some of his best-loved characters immortalized as statues in Boston's Public Garden and Lentil Park in Hamilton, Ohio.

One Tough Ball!
Color: Blue
Our dogs are loving this ball. Our 1 yr old hound is a world-class chewer and he can't make a dent in this ball. The interactive buzzing and bouncing keeps them entertained for long durations. It's a mite noisy but the barking from the 1 yr old is much louder, lol. Even turned off, they like playing with it and chewing on it. Based on the tough construction, we think it will last much longer than traditional chew balls.

If you love your dog…don’t buy this.
Color: Orange
We have a nonaggressive English cocker. She opened the ball every time she played with it. And yes, we are closing it as hard as we can. I do not recommend this toy for any dog! This is a dangerous toy for a dog that is not supervised.
