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
