Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
3.0
For a 1940's book, this sends a message that feminists would love. Mrs. Mallard is not a weak, submissive mother duck; she has a say in the decisions they make such as vetoing a potential habitat. Mr. Mallard symbolizes men during that era--drafted into war and leaving their families behind.
What I liked about this book is it reminded me of my ex-boyfriend who actually tried to stop traffic to help little duckies cross from the median to the other side of the road where their parents were waiting. A real life version of Michael.
