COMMUNITY REVIEWS

very nice story submitted by r-chopra on June 26, 2012, 1:17pm Just simply liked it. Beautiful written story.

Beautiful submitted by pk on July 11, 2012, 12:28pm It's been a favorite since my own childhood and it's difficult to say why. The drawings are wonderful. I think we identify with Ping, who doesn't want to be the last duck back and get spanked. And then poor Ping gets in even worse trouble. It is a simple story, but beautifully done. A picture book worth your read-aloud time.

Sweet submitted by EstherMaya on June 19, 2013, 3:03pm I liked it when Ping found his family.

Horrible! submitted by carr1_e on August 1, 2014, 7:52pm A cruel, awful story.

quack quack submitted by karinnet on August 2, 2014, 10:20pm very good

Spank submitted by kathscot on August 4, 2014, 10:28am The spank always confused me, too, but the story has endured none-the-less.

Classic submitted by AprilCDB on June 19, 2015, 1:49pm This book is from my childhood and I got it to share with my son. Story is about Ping the duck and how he didn’t want to be last to return home in order to avoid punishment and how he decides he’d rather be last and with his family then out on his own.
