Make Way for Ducklings - 75th Anniversary Edition by Robert McCloskey

 

One of the unexpected benefits I discovered when working in downtown Boston was being able to take lunch breaks in the nearby Public Garden, with its curving paths, wide-spreading trees, and dreamy lagoon plied by Swan Boats. Looking around this landscape on a fine New England summer day, it’s easy to see how it beckoned to the little feathered family who star in the 1941 children’s book Make Way for Ducklings (and who are now commemorated with their own statues in the park). McCloskey’s Boston was very different from the one I came to know more than 50 years later, but his book remains timeless in its depictions of the Public Garden, the State House, Beacon Hill, and the Longfellow Bridge, as well as in the hope it offers that we can all find our little oasis in the big wide world.     —Jenn Johnson, Yankee senior managing editor

Celebrating 75 years of a cherished classic!
This brilliantly illustrated, amusingly observed tale of mallards on the move has won the hearts of generations of readers. Awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1941, it has since become a favorite of millions.

The 75th anniversary edition will include a full-color map of Boston, fancifully illustrated by Caldecott winner Paul Zelinsky. All the beloved landmarks will be included, like the State House, the Old North Church, and the Swan Boats in the Public Garden. Even the ducklings will make an appearance! A CD audio-recording of the book will be in the back, and the entire package will be shrink-wrapped and stickered--a ready-made gift!

Robert McCloskey
Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published. He grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, and spent time in Boston, New York, and ultimately Maine, where he and his wife raised their two daughters. The first ever two-time Caldecott Medal winner, for Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder, McCloskey was also awarded Caldecott Honors for Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Journey Cake, Ho! by Ruth Sawyer.  He was declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000.  You can see some of his best-loved characters immortalized as statues in Boston's Public Garden and Lentil Park in Hamilton, Ohio.

Good second-level pickleball paddles for a great price
Color: Black, Color: Black
I've been playing pickleball for a while now, though not ever well. I have progressed from wooden paddles and just trying things out to bundles of basic fiberglass paddles and balls to higher-end paddles that individually cost more than the "multi-paddle plus balls" bundles. I have kids and kids-in-law and grandkids, and not everyone has their own paddles. Thus, I purchased this set to get a couple more paddles. This Amazon Basics set of 2 paddles, four balls, and a carrying case is a starter set, maybe one step up from the basic wooden paddles that I started with. The paddles are nice, light-weight but sturdy, with a decent surface that should allow some level of control. The grips are nice, and there is some additional grip tape you can use to retape a handle that wears out. The balls are standard balls, and should get you started. The case is similar to cases I've purchased before with other sets. Unfortunately, the makers skimped on the zipper. It only has one (another case from a similar set had two zippers), and after just a few uses, the zipper completely fell off (see photo). This makes the case completely useless, and definitely drops my rating. But, given the price, the quality of the paddles, and the four balls, this is still a great starter set, even without a cheap carrying case. I'm happy to have the extra balls and paddles.

Soooo cute & girly!
Color: Pastel Zigzag, Color: Pastel Zigzag
This cute coral and white pickleball paddle set is perfect for beginners or casual games. The paddles feel sturdy and well made, and the color combo is really fun and stylish. I also love that it comes with two different types of balls, so you’re ready to play right away. The compact carrying bag is a great bonus too — it keeps everything organized and is easy to bring to the court.
