Summary: A soon to be teacher and a duck fan
Comment: What a sweet book! I bought it because I love ducks and thought the title was so ingeneous. I read it and absolutely fell in love. I am an assistant teacher in a kindergarten and I am thinking about reading this to my class. There is one little boy who wears high heals and plays dress-up. I want to teach him it is okay to be different.

Summary: Just a reaally nice book
Comment: A terribly fun book about individuality. It's about a dad so worried about what other people think and say about how he raises his boy that, he tries to persuade his son Elmer to do 'masculine' things like play baseball instead of bake or paint. But not every boy likes to play baseball (nor every girl bake) and though an outcast Elmer stays true to himself and amazes everyone with his unique abilities and insights. It's a predictable but beautiful tale, written by an author experienced in being unique and being true to that uniqueness (brilliant actor, gay-rights-activist Harvey Fierstein). I find any book written form experience is a book worth reading, a book which speaks form the heart and 'The Sissy Duckling' is no exception. I would even go so far as to say that this book, like many other children's books'The Little Prince by St.Antoine and The Butterfly by Jay Singh'is written for adults. Absolutely. It has a lot to say to people from all walks of life. A great book to read to your kids, to discuss in class, or give to someone terribly original who might need a little pick-me-up! Very pleased with this book!

Summary: Magic Cover
Comment: The cover alone convinced me to buy this book and I was not disappointed. The narrative is simple and straight forward, the art work is captivating and I am considering buying this book for all the young ones on my Christmas list. "The Sissy Duckling" celebrates differences and individuality in a memorable package. Good job Harvey...
