"This book is really kind of cool simply because it is based on a true story, taken from a 1992 newspaper. The basic story line is that 10 little rubber ducks are painted, put into cargo boxes and loaded onto a cargo ship, and are floating in the ocean on the ship until a storm hits. Once the storm hits, they are knocked into the sea and the ocean waves begin to scatter them all over the place. This book teaches counting; as it counts each duck, it tells of its encounter. For example: the first duck goes west and a dolphin jumps over it. The second duck drifts east and a seal barks at it. The last duck finds a mother duck and her ducklings, and is basically adopted by them. As with all Eric Carle books, the pictures are really bright and would definitely attract the attention of a child of any age. On the very last page there is a part where kids can push and it makes a squeaking sound, like rubber ducks do, so kids gain the ability to match that sound to rubber ducks as well. I love the pictures in this book, I love the story line and I love that it's based off a true story. I don't think there are any Eric Carle books that I have read that I didn't like. I think it's very neat that he included the sound at the end of the book as well. This could be used thematically in a classroom for counting or when talking about various animals."
