What is Five Little Ducks about?
Five little ducklings set off for a swim, but one by one they disappear as a sly fox lures them away. Soon, only one brave duckling remains. Rather than give up, the smallest duck uses clever thinking to outwit the fox and rescue the missing ducklings. With the danger behind them, the family is reunited in a joyful ending. This lively retelling of the familiar counting rhyme combines suspense, repetition and colourful illustrations with a reassuring story about family sticking together.
