It comes with an accompanying CD where the story is narrated. This was a bonus for us as Dana got to enjoy the story being read by a native English speaker (instead of Daddy and Mummy)&nbsp;for a change! <\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">The story is simple for toddlers to follow. It begins in the factory where the ducks are made. They are then loaded on a freighter but during stormy weather ten little rubber ducks fall into the ocean and float away. The ducks bob along together for a while, but soon they drift in different directions, each encountering a different&nbsp;animal (such as a dolphin, a seal, a polar bear, and a flamingo). The last little duck is eventually adopted by a real mother duck, floating along with her ducklings.&nbsp; We find the story enjoyable and I&#8217;ve taken a liking to Eric Carle&#8217;s trademark tissue paper collage drawings! <\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Here&#8217;s a good <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kindergarten-lessons.com\/ten_little_rubber_ducks.html\">resource page<\/a> on how you can build on the story and practise counting with your lil&#8217; ones \ud83d\ude42 Enjoy!<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/signature-mom1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of the many Eric Carle books in Dana&#8217;s collection, this is one which we like very much.
