 wonderful read September 20, 2008
This is just another wonderful book. The fact it makes noise is a bonus! I shared this title with another mom and told her few of Eric Carle books makes noise and she was amazed. Had to purchase this on for my son for Christmas, he can not get enough of this duck *quaking*
A fun Eric Carle book June 26, 2008

"10 Little Rubber Ducks" starts with the rubber ducks being made in the machine. They are then boxed up and put on a boat. One box falls overboard and the ten ducks in that box take off in all different directions. They all encounter different things; for instance, one meets up with a polar bear, one with a turtle, and one with a flamingo. The last duck meets up with a flock of real ducks.
Cayden: "Why don't those ducks have eyes yet?"
Cayden: "Oh- I see! That guy paints the eyes on and the lady paints their bills."
Max: "Paint!"
Cadyen: "We have ducks like that in our bathtub!"
Cayden: "Let's count the ducks!"
Max: "Boat!"
Cayden: "The boxes full of ducks are going on the boat to go to other countries."
Max: "Ducks fall!"
Cayden: "The ducks fell into the water!"
Cayden: "All of the ducks are going to different places."
Cayden: "Look that rubber duck found some real ducks!"
Cayden: Referring to the squeaker at the end: "That is hard to make squeak!"
Max: "Hard! Help!"
Parent's comments:
"10 Little Rubber Ducks" is a fun book by one of our favorite children's authors, Eric Carle. This version is in board book format which is great for the younger ones so they don't rip the pages. The book provides numerous opportunities to teach counting, directions, and different animals to your children. Cayden counted the ducks over and over again in an attempt to teach Max his numbers. The storyline is engaging and the simplistic illustrations are wonderful! The only issue that we had with the book was that the duck that you can push to squeak at the end was difficult to get to work. If you just push down on it, it does not squeak. After playing with it we figured out that if you tap it short, fast, and hard with the tip of your finger it works very well.
 Some changes from the paper edition June 18, 2008
We've been waiting and waiting for this book to come out in a boardbook edition.
It is a favorite of my children, but one is very young, and has accidentally ripped some pages in other books.
My first complaint is that the type seems kind of small, relative to other boardbooks by Mr. Carle and compared to the original version.
However, my biggest disappointment came with the surprise at the end.
I won't spoil it for everyone, but the format is "different" than in the original. It is cuter, and likely longer lasting, but it is a little more difficult to get it to work than the simpler mechanism in the paper book.
I'd *strongly* suggest that you look at one of these in person before purchasing it ...
I'm quite disappointed, but we have it now and the kids certainly love it!
