From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K-- In the first book, Aruego and Dewey's vivid watercolor-and-ink pictures tell the tale of a mother duck who loses her five ducklings, one by one. A happy ending is assured when they all return with spouses and ducklings of their own. In the second, Duke's cartoon-like illustrations show Tingalayo, a mischievous donkey, running away from his owner to attend the carnival. He dances and sings but remembers home and gets back just in time for dinner. Set in the West Indies, the colorful and humorous pictures expand the simple song and provide a satisfying read/sing. Both books have the music and chords included. Both titles are well done and give a visual dimension to these popular children's songs, which will be successful for story times and general library use. --Debby Jeffery, San Francisco Public Library
