Cocoa, Cornbread and Vanilla are 3 adorable mischievous ducklings that go home with 9 year-old Amanda. The book recounts their adventures together (and sometimes apart), and includes age-appropriate recipes for some of the treats Amanda makes in the story--delicious things like Cornbread Bread, Apple and Cheese Sandwiches, pasta salad, Cornish Pasties and Cocoa's Cake with Vanilla's Frosting. Don't worry, though, none of the recipes are for duck!. Age level would be middle elementary.This book is fiction, but is inspired by 3 real ducklings who lived at our house some years ago, raised by our real Amanda (who is now grown and still loves ducks).
