One Duck Stuck: A Mucky Ducky Counting Book (Candlewick Press Big Book)

by Root Phyllis and Chapman Jane

Jane Chapman (Illustrator)

"Perfect for reading aloud, this counting book not only contains bright bold illustrations but also has lots of . . . sound effects that children will love to replicate." — Booklist

Down by the marsh,
by the sleepy,
slimy marsh,
one duck
gets stuck in the muck . . .

Can two fish, tails going swish, help? What about three moose, munching on spruce? Bright, spirited illustrations by Jane Chapman enhance this one-of-a-kind counting tale by Phyllis Root — a feast of sounds and numbers that will have listeners scrambling to join in the slippy, sloppy fun.

While I'm not 100% in love with the illustrations, I like this book a lot. It is full of value. Sounds, various animals, rhymes, rhythm and repetition, oh and of course there is counting. I can see why so many people lean toward this book. I've been reading a pile of books and this is the first one the preschooler has grabbed and is "reading" again by pictures herself. So perhaps we'll have to look for a copy ourselves.
