10 Little Rubber Ducks Board Book
10 little ducks. One BIG wave. And an adventure around the world! 🐥🌊
Set sail with 10 Little Rubber Ducks by Eric Carle, a colorful counting adventure inspired by the true story of a shipment of bath toys that tumbled from a cargo ship and began an unexpected journey across the sea.
When a giant wave washes 10 little rubber ducks overboard, each duck floats off in a different direction. One meets a dolphin. Another encounters a seal. Others discover whales, flamingos, polar bears and more—until the 10th little rubber duck finds a very special place to belong.
Through Eric Carle’s unmistakable collage illustrations and simple storytelling, little readers explore counting, ordinal numbers, directions, animals and ocean habitats while following the ducks on their around-the-world adventure.
