What is Five little ducks about?

Join five little ducks as they set off over the hills and far away. One by one, they explore the river and countryside, but each time Mother Duck calls, fewer ducklings come waddling back. Where could they be? With bright, colourful illustrations and a familiar, repetitive rhyme, children can sing along, count the ducks and join in with the much-loved quacking refrain. A cheerful first book for sharing, singing and learning numbers together.
