Book Reviews of 10 Little Rubber Ducks
Book Review: Teaches in so many ways
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, Eric Carle teaches about a dozen concepts using about 10 words. I exaggerate, but only a little. This book teaches counting, including ordinal numbers. The ducks drift off in different directions such as left, right, up, and down, as well as the compass points. The rubber ducks encounter different animals, and the animals that the ducks meet correspond to the compass points. For example, the rubber duck that goes north sees a polar bear. The first couple pages succinctly describe the manufacturing/shipping process, something hard to find in preschool books. (At least, it's hard to find in terms they understand, Donald Crews "Truck" aside.) And the squeaker duck at the end is wonderful surprise!Book Review: Kids Love Carle's Colorful Books
Summary: 5 Stars
"In 1992, a shipment of 29,000 bathtub toys fell overboard from a container ship. Eric Carle read a newspaper account that related how the various ducks, beavers, turtles, and frogs had bobbed their way to the shores of Alaska, through the Bering Strait, around the northern coast of Greenland, and into the Atlantic Ocean. According to Carle, 'I could not resist making a story out of the newspaper report.' Carle's story follows the fates of 10 imaginary rubber ducks that are washed overboard from a cargo ship and are swept away in all directions. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little ducks' plight as they are lost at sea, and then rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending. (Be sure to "Press here" in the appropriate place on the inside back cover for the book's full effect!)" (summary by South Texas Library System)Book Review: I like it; my children love it

Summary: 5 Stars
I was excited to purchase this book for my two and a half year old who loves the ducks at the pond and the ducks in her bathtub! This book did not dissappoint. It is a cute story that kids will enjoy. The quacking rubber duck at the end is fun for the little ones!Book Review: Another great Eric Carle book!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who collect Eric Carle's books for children or anyone who loves great children's picture books....10 Little Rubber Ducks is so cute and my one year old loves the "squeak" at the end. For teachers, it is perfect for numbers, counting, etc.
Highly recommended!!!
