One by one five little ducklings tumble off the bridge into the river below--and mother duck follows them. - Baker & Taylor
Crossing a bridge with her five little ducklings in tow, a mother duck is dismayed when a strong gust of wind knocks the babies one by one into the river below, causing the frantically quacking and counting mother duck to choose between protecting the children who remain on the bridge or helping the ones who are swimming below. By the creators ofWhere Is the Green Sheep? - Scholastic
A delightful counting tale about a family of ducks from internationally bestselling picture book author Mem Fox and illustrator Judy Horacek. Count along with Mother Duck as her ducklings try to waddle across the bridge. When a sudden gust of wind sweeps one of Mother Duck's ducklings into the river, she doesn't know what to do. With four ducklings on the bridge and one below, Mother Duck is torn as to which way to go. Suddenly, a second duck falls and Mother Duck grows more panicked. Should she stay on the bridge or fly down to her ducklings in the river? As she paces and frantically quacks, the remaining ducklings playfully plop one by one into the river until all of the siblings are happily floating along. Now that all five ducklings are safely in the water, Mother Duck flies down to join in the fun, relieved to have all her ducklings together again. Mem introduces young readers to the basic math principles of addition and subtraction.
