Children's Book review
Five little ducks went swimmming one day, over the pond and far away.
Most parents, carers and toddlers are familiar with the children's action rhyme about a careless mother duck who fails to take adequate care of her offspring and loses them one by one until, finally, they all return at once.
This sturdy board book version features a brood of colourful ducklings and cleverly cut pages which conceal/reveal the babies as they disappear and then reappear.
An ideal book to share with a baby or toddler with the added bonus of being useful for early counting and colour recognition - and, of course, for singing practice.
