Five Little Ducks by Pamela Paparone

Count along with a family of adventurous ducks

Very Good Condition - Light cover scuffs, bowed/curled edges and small corner creases.

Five little ducks set off over the hills, while their mother waits and calls for them to return. With each outing, fewer ducklings come back, creating the familiar pattern of a favourite counting rhyme. Pamela Paparone's illustrations give the duck family a warm and expressive world, encouraging children to look closely as well as listen. The repeated words and changing numbers make it easy to anticipate the next verse, join in the refrain and practise counting backwards. A reassuring conclusion brings the family story together, balancing the small suspense of each departure with the comfort of reunion. Ideal for shared reading or singing, this illustrated version offers a gentle combination of rhythm, number play and affection.
