Make Way for Ducklings is a classic 1941 children's book by Robert McCloskey, telling the story of the Mallard family's search for a home in Boston, culminating in a police-assisted journey through city traffic to the Public Garden. The book won the Caldecott Medal for its illustrations and is beloved for its depiction of Boston, inspiring a famous statue in the Public Garden. It follows Mrs. Mallard and her eight ducklings (Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack) as they learn to navigate the city to find a safe place to live.
