Book Reviews of 10 Little Rubber Ducks

Book Review: Two thumbs up...one big and one small
Summary: 5 Stars

In July of 2003, award-winning children's author and illustrator Eric Carle saw an article about a 1992 shipment of rubber ducks that fell off of a ship and traveled throughout the world. Well, he just couldn't resist writing a book about those toys. And in that book, he tells the story from their manufacture, through their loss, and on to the adventures that the ten little rubber ducks had.

The book is richly illustrated, in that bright, realistic/not-realistic style that Eric Carle is famous for. The accompanying text is very interesting, showing so much in so few words. The many different fates of the ducks, provides for some interesting reading, keeping my four-year-old spellbound. Yeah, we both like this book and we give it two thumbs up...one big and one small.

Summary of 10 Little Rubber Ducks

Ahoy! Here We Go
Around the World
with 10 Little Rubber Ducks

"Ducks overboard!" shouts the captain, as a giant wave washes a box of 10 little rubber ducks off his cargo ship and into the sea. The 10 little rubber ducks are swept away in various directions. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. A whale sings to another. But, as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight -- and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending.

In this poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, Eric Carle also takes readers on an exciting voyage of discovery. Following the little ducks as they float to all parts of the globe, young explorers can see for themselves the meanings of directional words, and learn simple math concepts such as counting and the use of cardinal and ordinal numbers. Each creature the ducks meet is seen in its own habitat and behaves in a true-to-life manner, offering a very simple first view of biology and geography.

All aboard for a world of learning and fun!
