Now this is a fun book to read aloud! Our copy is a board book and it's heavy and hard to hold while I read to my toddler, but it is so much fun I don't mind.

A duck, a sheep, a frog and a goat work together to get a truck out of the muck in this delicious rhyming book.

A duck's truck gets stuck in the muck, and he enlists the help of a frog, a sheep and a goat to get back on track.

I enjoyed this book for a couple of reasons. The first reason I like it is the writing. Many of the lines rhyme which causes the book to flow very well and makes it very interesting. One line line in the book is, "This is a Sheep, driving home in a Jeep. 'Get out of the way,' he yells with a beep."

I think that rhyming lines help to make books, like this one, more fun and entertaining to the reader. Another reason I like the book is because the illustrations are interesting throughout the book. There are pictures of each and every struggle that the duck faces and everyone that tries to help him. The pictures are able to represent the words very well because there are two different pictures per page which shows more of what is happening on each page. The big idea of this book is to be patient and appreciate all of the help people offer.

This is a very cute book, I like all the rhyming in the book. The book also shows all of duck's friend's helping him to get unstuck from the mud. They eventually get the truck unstuck and duck can continue on his way.

I liked this book a lot, it is about a duck who drives a truck and gets stuck. Quickly the duck makes new friends as each one of them try to help him get unstuck. After plenty of help from his new friends the duck gets unstuck and quickly begins driving the truck again. I liked how this whole book

I was not a fan of this one. The illustrations and rhyming are cute, but the message is not. After getting stuck in the mud the duck is cranky and rude. Then his fellow animals help him and he drives off, leaving them trapped in the mud.

A deliciously percussive rhyming story of a feathered truck driver who becomes mired in muck and the three animal Good Samaritans who try and and help him ... a quacking good read-aloud.
