Beautifully composed illustrations, said Booklist.
It´s a definite 10, commented School Library Journal in a starred review. A wonderful read-aloud for storytimes or one-on-one sharing. 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. 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. In this poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, Eric Carle takes readers on an exciting voyage of discovery. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck´s plight-and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending.
But as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. The ducks are swept away in various directions. All aboard for a world of learning and fun! 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.
