With hilarious misadventures, Little Duck hops and paddles from one trouble spot to the next, until at last he finds just the right place to swim. "Youngsters starting on the road to independence will appreciate the perilous road taken by this bright yellow duck".--Booklist. Full color. An IRA/CBC Children's Choice and NCTE Teachers' Choice.
This may have been written in 1990, but it remains a cute premise for a story. Little duck needs a place to swim and tries various places-the bathtub, the dog bowl, and various other water containers. The brief text and small dimensions of the book make it good with a toddler on your lap.
