Ruby`s brothers and sisters are always racing off in search of adventure. "This way, Ruby!" they call, as they race through reed beds and run up grassy banks. But little Ruby likes to take things slowly, in her own time. She prefers to look at all the lovely things that surround her – which is just as well, for when the ducklings get lost in a storm, it`s down to Ruby to find the way home! Now available in board book format - perfect for the youngest readers!

Jonathan Emmett worked as an architect before beginning to write children’s books ten years ago. He has since achieved international success as both a picture book author and a paper engineer. RUBY FLEW TOO! (978 1 4050 5162 0) was his first picture book for Macmillan, and he is also the creator of ZOOM! (978 1 4050 0445 9), an amazing pop-up machine book.
Booklist
Mama and Papa duck have five yellow offspring Rufus, Rory, Rosie, Rebecca, and Ruby. While Rufus, Rory, Rosie, and Rebecca are energetic and adventurous, Ruby, distinguished by the three feathers that stick up on top of her head, is small and steady,” and observant. But when the ducklings venture out on their own and become lost as a thunderstorm approaches, it's not Rufus, Rory, Rosie, or Rebecca who saves the day it's Ruby, proving that courage and caution must go hand in hand. The alliterative names provide a fun mantra to recite aloud, and the simple yet movement-filled illustrations, thickly brushed in soft nursery colors, depict a cast of darling ducklings, as deliciously fluffy and sweet as lemon chiffon pie.

Darling duckling Ruby, from Ruby in Her Own Time (2004), is still the littlest of the clutch,
content to take things in her own time. When her bigger, bolder brothers and sisters race off to explore,
Ruby prefers to take life more slowly, stopping to appreciate the waterfall, willow, fish and frogs along
the way. Look!” she cries. But the others do not stop. THIS WAY, RUBY!” they call, unobservant
in their hurry. So it's wee Ruby who first sees big black storm clouds sweeping across the sky; and
when lightning alarms and disorients the ducks, it's Ruby who, though scared herself, uses the sights
and sounds she has noticed as landmarks to navigate the way to safety. Harry's palette of lavender,
blue, green and fuzzy, yummy yellow is perfect for her charmingly bedraggled little duckies and their
friendly lakeside surroundings, and Emmett's musical, alliterative language (occasionally typeset to
reflect the text) is gentle and engaging. (Picture book. 2-6)
