Ten little ducks are afraid to start swimming, but one by one they join their mama, until the last one is left - Little Quack.
Children's counting book.
This is a cute little book. The duck's personalities are appealing, each one is so unique. It's still a little counting book, just a little
This is a good preK book. The ducks all have their unique personalities, and the biggest aren't always the bravest. It is cool that as they count down the ducks on land they count up the ducks in the water. Good for number sense.

This book is about five little ducklings that are scared to get in the water for the first time when their mama introduces it to them. One by one they get just brave enough to jump in the water, until Little Quack is the last one left in the nest. After encouragement from his mama and siblings, he
This is a very cute book with funny illustrations. I like how each duckling has a different personality to them. Also, I like how it has a "quack-u-lator" at the bottom of each page to help kids count.
This book could be used to teach a lesson on counting to five, by counting both the ducklings in the pond and the ducklings still in the nest. After the counting lesson, you could have the children paint on rubber ducks to express their own personality, and then this could serve as a reminder of the book and lesson during bath time.

nest. Eventually Widdle, Waddle, Piddle and Puddle all got the courage one by one to jump bravely into the pond. They found that it was very fun and they loved the pond. Little Quack was still scared to leave the nest. As he hears his Momma and siblings calling for him to jump into the pond too, Little Quack takes his time. First he gets closer to the water and looks at it, then sniffs it and touches it with his foot. He debated it and then suddenly feeling just brave enough, just like his siblings had before him, he closed his eyes and ran into the water. Then all five of the babies and their Momma were in the water and they went for a swim together. Show Less

This is an adorable book for pre-k and kinder students as well as, for parents at home. It's an endearing story of a mother duck gently encouraging her ducklings to come to the pond to learn to swim. It's a fun book to use for beginning to learn how to count and it has nice visuals to support

A cute little story about a duck called Little Quack. Momma Duck goes out of the nest into the pond and convinces her children to follow her. All of them, at first, are afraid to do so. They fear the unknown. The last one to try is little Quack. And I am not going to give it away but I will say
I happen to like this book, as it is one that an adult should read to a young toddler at story time or at bed time. The pictures in it are nice and big for the child to follow along in. But the print is small, which is why I feel an adult should read this to them.
The bonus I get with this version of the story is that it comes in two languages. English and Spanish. So, if the parent is Bilingual, this would be a bonus. The child gets two stories in one.
