One Duck Stuck: A Mucky Ducky Counting Book
by Phyllis Root and Jane Chapman
$6.99 on Amazon.com + free shipping on orders over $25
This book has it all! While it is first and foremost a counting book, it is also a book filled with rich language: rhyme, Onomatopoeia, alliteration, and predictive text. It has fun with language, and kids pick up on that. It's refreshing to read a children's book, let alone a counting book, that is so much fun to read. I also like that it includes animals we don't see as often in children's books, like moose, snails, and opossums.
Excerpt:
Four crickets
chirping in the thickets
leap to the duck.
Pleep, pleep.
No luck.
The duck stays stuck
deep in the muck
down by the pricky, sticky marsh.
Help! Help! Who can help?
