"Pastoral watercolors dovetail neatly with the lighthearted mood of this merry counting book." - Publishers WeeklyNine plump ducks walk to the river, with hungry Mr. Fox close behind. One by one the ducks make their way down to the rickety bridge, where they have a big surprise waiting for Mr. Fox! With this bright and busy story, young children will learn to count backward from nine to one before you can say, "Quack-quack!"
This is a wonderfully illustrated book about ducks. It is not as simplistic as that, though. Counting with a repetitious rhyme is the clencher that keeps kids reading. Their interest is maintained by the cute ducks that are constantly harassed by a fox. The story line is ingenious. I recommend all children be exposed to this book. It lends itself to numerous activities that will keep their imagination flowing.
