This was a great book! Great for grades levels k-3.

A simple story good for sparking discussion about perseverance, this takes the idea of "one step at a time" and makes it very concrete for youngsters. A little duck needs to keep walking but complains his legs are getting tired. His siblings recommend the "one step" to get him there. Light orange-y watercolors with thin black outline support the text, however the range of expressions on the faces of the ducks is limited.

Good trick a little one into motivation story, just one step until a bigger goal. Little chick is too tired to walk to his mama but his brothers tell him to just take one step. One step becomes many until he finds his mama. ( )

This story was just okay for me. The main character's brother had to keep telling him how to solve his problem--I would have liked to see the main character come up with a way to solve his own problem. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, although the monochromatic palette didn't seem to engage my 7-month-old daughter. ( )
