Book Review: Ruby Flew Too - Independance and reassurance
 
Ruby Flew Too is a beautiful book that I've actually bought for myself .. one of the rare few now living on the bedside table. :cheerful:



On a quick first read, this book may appear quite 'wishy washy', but it houses a very powerful message of trust, belief and the knowledge that parental anxiety - the fears and all the uncertainties that are rolled up in the tustles and expectations of everyday life ... do eventually pay off!

Not being able to peek a look into the crystal ball of the future, it's nice to have a story like this demonstate.. with wonderful hindsight that the patience and sometimes 'tongue biting support we give .. does path the way to independance ... So that on the day 'Ruby finally flies the nest, Father Duck's belief and reassurance to Mother Duck that she will return ...... comes true :D

----------------------------------

The book has a gorgeous 'shaved flock feel to the outer cover and amazingly 'soft pastel illustrations.

Can also be used in Numeracy with number counting as the eggs hatch.
Seasons & weather conditions as Mother duck nests and keeps the eggs warm.
Families ~ Feelings ~ Independance ~ Confidence ~ Reassurance ~ What 'I can do.
