Duck Soup: An Easter and Springtime Book for Kids

My kids and I love this book! When read with animation it is quite hysterical. They ask me to read it all the time, but it’s not a book I like to read before bed. This book hypes them up and gets them ready to play. Please, whatever you do, read this with all your heart, it’s worth the laughter!

My 2 yr old loves this book because of all the fun sounds, emphasis on words, etc. He asks me to read it over and over again and wants me to purchase it for his daycare.

Even better than the first book, Duck Soup, is funny and the pictures are great. My kids laugh hysterically as I keep turning the pages and the duck "parts" keep falling out of the pot of soup.

I was told about this book by a mom friend of mine and immediately checked it out of the library. My 3 year old LOVED IT!!! I loved it. We all loved it. Maxwell duck is a cook is making his best dish ever. He leaves to get an herb from the garden when his friends come in and once they look into the soup they think Max has fallen in so they proceed to pour the soup out trying to save Max. It's a really cute story. I can be very dramatic while reading it "OH NO MAX WE'LL SAVE YOU" etc. My daughter loves it when we read books like that. I absolutely recommend this book and may give it as a gift in a couple months. BUY IT.

There once was a duck named Max, an aspiring chef of soups. Previously, Max had made such culinary "concoctions" as Fish Soup with Curry and Pickled Lemon, Cracker Barrel Cheese and Marshmallow Soup, and Squash Gumbo. One day, Max decided to make a masterpiece of soup, but discovers that he is missing an herb to bring his dish to perfection. While out in the garden, Max's friends come by. While they discover and empty kitchen, they find a pot bubbling away on the stove. What follows can only be described as a hilarious and fun treat. With bright eye-catching illustrations and gloriously fun text, Duck Soup is sure to be a hit with young and old alike!

This is a wonderful book with imagery much enjoyed by small children. It is not so simple minded that adults mind reading it over and over again while pointing out the delightful illustrations to much childish laughter.
