THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED

Start Speading The News!  There is a duck heading to New York City and he’s leavin’ today!  A little duck from the Prairies has a big dream – making it to New York City and doing his ducky dance on broadway!

I recently had the opportunity to review A Duck in New York City from The Secret Mountain, publishing group.  Let me tell you it was a hit at my house!  My three year old son has never settled in so quickly to have a book read to him.  He slept with it for days after we received it.

From the site: An original work by well-known singer-songwriter Connie Kaldor that tells the story of a little prairie duck with a big idea – making it on Broadway. It’s a long shot, and New York’s very far away. Luckily, a truck-driver named Big Betty comes along, offers him a ride, and gives him that extra little boost he needs to fulfill his dream!

A Duck in New York City comes with a 12 song CD to compliment the story.  My toddler loves to listen to this while driving. He even sings along!  It really makes for a peaceful ride.  He’s usually screaming wanting to get out of his car seat!  A few of our favorite songs from the CD are:  A Duck in NYC, Belly Button, Slug Opera, and I Love Tomatoes.

The Secret Mountain’s titles have won prestigious awards and as I read and listen to the CDs that go along with the books, I know why.  This is one of the most unique book concepts I have ever come across.  As quiet as it’s kept, I’ve enjoyed these books as much as my toddler!

WIN IT!

Enter to win A Duck in New York City by telling me what your nighttime reading ritual is with your child(ren).  Does your child have a favorite book they like to read over and over again?  Do you have a favorite book that you read to them?  And, if you haven’t established a nightime reading ritual with your child(ren), tell me how A Duck in New York City could help you to do so.  Good Luck!
