One Little Duck

One Little Duck is a fresh and funny twist on the classic Five Little Ducks nursery rhyme, with echoes of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. When Mother Duck forgets how to quack, she calls out with different animal sounds-and one by one, new friends join the adventure! Children will giggle along as the barnyard fills with unexpected guests. With delightful rhymes and expressive illustrations, this picture book from award-winning duo Katrina Germein and Danny Snell is made for storytime fun and early language learning.
