    One Duck Stuck tells the story of a poor little duck stuck in the muck. He just can't get out. His cries for help are answered by a multitude of forest friends who all try to 'unstuck' the duck. With each try, more animals come to the rescue (it's a counting book afterall). You'll have fun with the repetitive nature of the book which leads to turn taking and helps early readers practice. Each rescue attempt comes with its own sound effect that makes it fun to read and what happens at the end cracks my kid up every time.

    I Loved One Duck Stuck

    The little duck stuck in the mud is an entertaining read, and a bit tongue twisting. The colours and illustrations of animals make it an absorbing book for babies. The solid board book is an excellent children's book, full of team work and comedic storytelling fun. I loved it, and my one year old son did too!

    One Duck Stuck shares incredible language and humour with young children. As the duck's friends try to help him out of the muck, kids love to chime in with numbers and words. The patterning of the language and the fun slimy, sloppy words is enough to make children of all ages smile. It also teaches young minds about cooperation and curtosy, because the duck is quick to say Thanks!
    All in all this is a great addition to any children's library.

From Our Editors

One duck is stuck in the muck down by the sleepy, slimy marsh. Who can help? What about those two fish with their tails splashing? Maybe the three moose munching on spruce over there? Or the four crickets chirping in the thickets? Can any of them help this duck out of the muck? Children are sure to love the bright and cheery illustrations in One Duck Stuck.

About the Author

Phyllis Root says she wanted One Duck Stuck "to be a north woods wetlands counting book, accurate to the marshes of Minnesota. All the animals are actually found here. I love to go canoeing and camping, and this book is a composite of my own experiences." Phyllis Root has written many books for children, including WHAT BABY WANTS, ALL FOR THE NEWBORN BABY, and KISS THE COW!

Jane Chapman has a pet tortoise named Muggs, who at the age of seventy is a family heirloom, and one day she would like to have a duck as well. She is the illustrator of several books for children, including THE EMPEROR''S EGG by Martin Jenkins and THE STORY OF CHRISTMAS by Vivian French.
