In Eric Carle's poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, readers are taken on an exciting voyage of discovery. </strong></p><p>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. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. A whale sings to another. But as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea.</p><p>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. 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.</p><p>Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight--and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending. A wonderful read-aloud for storytimes or one-on-one sharing. It's a definite 10, commented <em>School Library Journal</em> in a starred review. Beautifully composed illustrations, said <em>Booklist</em>. As sublimely simple and endearing as the playthings it portrays, agreed <em>Publishers Weekly</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Ahoy!
