*Make Way for Ducklings*  
  
This popular educational book has been brought to life on DVD and is targeted for children in the elementary school age range. As you would expect from a book that has been made into a DVD, *Make Way for Ducklings* provides much more educational value than entertainment for your child.

Whether you ultimately decide to purchase this release or not is largely based on if you prefer to teach your child through books or through visual aid.

This educational DVD is available for purchase at retailers across the country.
