Personal Review: Daniels Duck (I Can Read Book 3) by Clyde
Robert Bulla
This book has a lot going for it - not only is it written by Clyde Robert Bulla,
a prolific and talented writer whose books are slowly (and sadly) going out
of print, it is also "An I Can Read Book", which is my favorite series of
readers for young children.
While the setting of this book is well over 110 years ago, the emotions
portrayed in this book will be accessible to every child. Daniel is the
youngest child in his family, and wants to make something for the spring
fair. Despite some well-intentioned "wait until you're older"
discouragement from his family, he carves a duck and is quite proud of it.
He brings it to the fair, and then sees people laughing at it. Embarrassed
and angry, he grabs his duck and runs to the river to throw it in, but is

stopped by the best wood-carver in Tennessee. Their conversation is
simple and effective, without being sacharine or artificial.
My kids have picked up this book more than once to read on their own.
