Book Reviews of 10 Little Rubber Ducks
Book Review: quack, squeak
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 2-year old granddaughter. She LOVES it. There's a squeaker at the back of the book that she presses before we begin and also at the end. It's beautifully illustrated.Book Review: Eric Carle doing what he does best
Summary: 4 Stars
My 3 year old sons love this book. They especially like to press the button at the end of the book to make the rubber duck squeak! In the usual inimitable Eric Carle style, there are bright and colorful collage illustations that bring the story to life. Book Review: 10 Little Rubber Ducks is a fun read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my children and it's as much fun for me as it is for them. The book deals with ordinal numbers as it counts to the 10th little rubber duck. And of course, Eric Carle's illustrations are fantastic. I really liked that Mr. Carle included the newspaper article that inspired the book and shared that with my children. It was a learning opportunity for us to talk about how you write a story and what kinds of things can inspire you. The surprise (the rubber duck squeak) at the end of the book keeps my littlest one turning to that page over and over.Book Review: A Little Squeaky At The End
Summary: 4 Stars
Inspired by a true event, Carle takes the adventures of 10 rubber ducks and creates a wonderfully illustrated children's story. The style of the artwork is consistent with his other books, my favorite being The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Repetitious lines create an almost poetic nostalgia, but I am somewhat offput by the electronic squeaker at the end of the story. It doesn't sound much like a rubber duck, and is thankfully not too loud (otherwise it could get very annoying in the hands of a child). Why someone chose to add a cheap gimmick to a well done, fantastically illustrated story is beyond me.Book Review: ANOTHER CARLE CLASSIC
Summary: 5 Stars
Some years ago there was a story about a ship that was carrying a load of Rubber ducks from China. In a storm several crates were swept off the ship and these little rubber ducks floated virtually all over the world. I guess maybe that story influenced this Eric Carle books about a bunch of toy ducks that pop out of a machine freshly painted and packed 10 to a box and loaded onto a ship.
A box of 10 goes overboard and each of the 10 little ducks goes on their own separate journey of exploration and adventure to all parts of the globe. One even encounters a mother duck with her own little duckling children. It's a delightful tale and beautifully illustrated, as you would expect, by Carle. His use of colors in his collages is dazzling. If you've had his previous books and enjoyed them, you're sure to love this one too.
