curbj402 said: This is a tale of one duck that gets stuck in the mud, and his animal friends from one to ten unite and free him. The text is rhyming, rich in assonance and alliteration, and has great adjectives. The question is on the right page and the answer on the next remains the same and encourages small children to participate through repetition. The number amount, numeral, and number word are all present in the same area of every page. The colors, yellow, blue, and green, and the text placement provide a consistent layout that brings out the confidence in new and inexperienced readers. The words are either yellow or green, which allows the other colors in the illustration to stand out. This makes it easier when counting the animals. The illustrations are paintings and inspired by the illustrators home.
