Anything can be great in moderation. Mr. Duck is one who loves his everyday routine of peace and quiet. He has a set schedule and follows it exactly for years. One day, his routine gets completely thrown off when other animals decide that they want to swim in his pond. He lets it go in the beginning until finally he snaps. He makes all of them leave so that he can return to peace and quiet. However, he realizes now that he actually liked some of the noise, just in moderation. He decides to add fun time with friends into his daily routine. Now, from 2:00-4:00 , his day has noise. ( )

I picked this book because of all the farm animals it has in it. For this book, I would have my students write what Mr. Duck learned after all the animals had come to swim. ( )

Mr. Duck has a routine and he is not a happy camper when his animal friends attempt to disrupt it. All the animals want to play in Mr. Duck’s pond, but Duck wants peace and quiet. So he makes a sign, announcing that no one is welcome at the pond. Duck has what he wants, peace and quiet, but then he gets lonely. He changes his sign to welcome visitors from two to four and everything is right in the world.

“The water got wild. The scenery got crowded. And the peace and quiet?
It.
Was.
Gone.
Mr. Duck tapped.
He flapped.
He totally SNAPPED.
‘QUA-A-AA-A-ACKKK!” ( )
