Ten Little Ducklings
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Ten little ducklings, keeping cool – splishing, splashing in the pool. Watch them dive and float and swim – but which one is on a rubber ring? Which duckling is the highest in their hot air balloon, and which cute little duckling is hiding behind the sandcastle at the beach?
Last, when it comes to bedtime after an extremely busy day, it’s time to say night night – butwhich duckling is the sleepiest?
Rowland and Aki’s delightful and interactive rhyming book for little ones uses the Ten Little Ducklings rhyme, but invents a variety of exciting adventures for the ducklings instead, asking readers to play hide and seek with the adorable little ducks.
On each double page spread, we have an opportunity to look for a duckling doing one particular action, or the duckling who is the highest, lowest, in a tree, under the snow, etc. These details help children with their language acquisition as well as with recognising colour, direction and details such as different locations, weather and objects.
Aki’s bright, bold illustration is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, and the book’s clear, large font makes this an accessible, pleasant read. Clear, bright and lots of fun.
