（文と絵：　約：　わたなべ　しげお　）　は絵本です. written and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. First published in 1941, the book tells the story of a pair of mallard ducks who decide to raise their family on an island in the lagoon in Boston Public Garden, a park in the center of Boston, Massachusetts.

Make Way for Ducklings won the 1942 Caldecott Medal for McCloskey's illustrations, executed in charcoal then lithographed on zinc plates.[1][2][3] As of 2003, the book had sold over two million copies.[4] The book's popularity led to the construction of a statue by Nancy Schön in the Public Garden of the mother duck and her eight ducklings, which is a popular destination for children and adults alike.[5] The book is also the official children's book of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.[6]

Praise for the book is still high over 60 years since its first publication, mainly for the enhancing illustrations and effective pacing.[7] It was criticised for having a loose plot, however, as well as poor characterization.[2] The book is extremely popular worldwide. The city of Boston, where the story is set, as well as Novodevichy Park, Moscow, both have small statues based on the story.
