This book is an enjoyable read that introduces a variety of animals that come to help one duck that is stuck in the mud. Each group of animals increases by one as they come to help. This book helps students begin to understand counting order as they predict whether the animals will be able to get the duck out of the mud. ( )

This book is a great counting book for kids. On each page the duck is stuck in the muck and different amounts of animals come to help him. But, no one can help him until all the animals work together to help him out. I also love how all of the pages rhyme in the story. ( )

This book is a good way to show kids how to work together when one of their classmates are struggling with something. ( )

One duck gets stuck in mud and can't escape. So different numbers of animals come and try to get the duck out, but it doesn't work. But then all the animals work as a team and they finally get the duck out. ( )

This silly counting book has very simple text with lots of onomatopoeia. It is intended for very young children.

Book description
A great book of counting and friendship. So much fun onomatopoeia for reading aloud! So many rhymes! I like that the countable items are clear and separate (not overlapping), making the counting easier. The artwork reminds me a little of Denise Fleming's.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0763615668, Paperback)

"Splish, clomp, pleep, plop, plunk, sloosh, slosh, slink, zing." Who can resist a read-aloud featuring sounds like these? When, "Down by the marsh, by the sleepy, slimy marsh, one duck gets stuck in the muck," who comes to the rescue? Two fish, splishing, for starters. Then three moose clomping, four crickets pleeping, and so on. Still, "No luck. Still stuck." It takes a whole lot of teamwork to get this particular stuck duck unstuck from the muck, but this cheerful bunch is definitely up to the task.

From one duck to 10 dragonflies, the muddy fun never stops in Phyllis Root's chunky little board book. Young readers will giggle their way through the numbers, and by the time the duck's foot is released with a "Spluck!" counting will be a cinch. Jane Chapman's lush illustrations are full of marshy colors and muddy detail. The right side of each two-page spread shows the hapless duck earnestly waiting for liberation by its lively rescuers, while on the opposite side the featured number is printed, large and bold, over the text, and the splishers and ploppers are depicted again for easy counting. Chapman's enchanting art is also found in The Emperor's Egg, among other titles, and Root's other popular stories include Kiss the Cow!. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
