With sweet illustrations by veteran children's book artists Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey, this lovely counting song will invoke squeals of delight from babies and toddlers. They'll love counting down as first five little ducks, then four, then three, then two, then one go out to play, not to return. Sadly, Mother Duck waits alone through all four seasons until spring returns and with it her five ducks, all grown up-along with their new families of baby ducks. Raffi is pure nostalgia and his songs have endured. Some of his hits have been made into picture books as part of the Raffi Songs to Read series. I'd definitely recommend giving your kids the treat of listening to a Raffi album and then reading these books. This is another traditional song that my son Luke has become familiar with through the modern miracle of YouTube Kids. Because of that it was a cinch to get him interested in this book.

The review above is part of a longer post 5 little ducks books about singalong books: I think most people are familiar with the Five Little Ducks tune, which is pretty catchy in my humble opinion. It's good for practicing numbers. In this particular version, each duckling is a different color so it's also good for talking about colors. I know that some people are concerned about the message of the mother duck losing all her babies one at a time before she can figure out how to get them back. But I feel like this book puts a twist on it that allows you to feel good about those dis I think most people are familiar with the Five Little Ducks tune, which is pretty catchy in my humble opinion.

I know that some people are concerned about the message of the mother duck losing all her babies one at a time before she can figure out how to get them back. But I feel like this book puts a twist on it that allows you to feel 5 little ducks about those disappearing ducklings. When Mother Duck finds her 5 little ducks on the last page, there are an awful lot of extra ducks hanging around. Some big and some small. Looks like the little ducks all got married and had babies. One duck had one baby, one duck had two babies, etc. And the ducks leaving home seems less scary. I was lucky enough to find this book in the library the very day I was trying to remember how the song went so I could sing it to Gavin. And then the librarian also sang it at storytime. So we've been doing lots of 5 Little Ducks lately, including about 20 times in a row the other day when Gavin was sick. This book has no received any awards. This book is appropriate for pre-k and kindergarten. Every day of this book, the ducklings go out to explore away from their mother. Each day, one less duckling came back to their mother when called, until none of them returned. But, at the end of the story, the mother went out to find them, and each one of them returned to her. I really like singing this song while reading the book. The story line has the potential to be sad, but has a happy ending 1. This book has no received any awards.

I also really like this book because it is a classic that I read when I was younger. This book could be used to teach math ie. But, she has no interest in this one. I must say that I have mixed feelings about the song. I like singing the quacks, but I don't like that it takes the momma duck five missing baby ducks before she goes looking for them. I wasn't a huge fan of the illustrations in this on. But, she has no interest in this one. I must say that I 5 little ducks mixed feelings about the song. I like singing the quacks, but I don't like that it takes the momma duck five missing baby ducks before she goes looking for them. I wasn't a huge fan of the illustrations in this on. I would have preferred more realistic ducks, instead of rainbow colored. Give students small cut-outs of the ducklings and have them follow along throughout the story. Then, go through again, this time using mathematical symbols to represent what is happening, showing students the math sentences. Then, use the duck cut-outs to see what other math sentences can be created using 5 ducklings. This book and accompanying song is about a family of ducklings who goes out every day, and returns to their mother one sibling short. At the end of the story the lonely mother duck goes out to find all of her ducklings returned, along with their spouses and children. This book could be used to teach counting and one-to-one correspondence, and could be easily adapted to provide children with opportunities to participant e. I remember reading this book to practice speaking in front of a crowd when I was about 7 years old. The kindergarten class I read to and I didn't understand how the mother duck could lose all her ducklings and not keep a better eye on them. It helped them learn subtracting and they enjoyed quacking, but it wasn't their or my favorite book that I read that day. This book uses subtraction on a beginner level. Counts down from 5 then no ducks are around their mom. After winter and into spring, she goes looking for them and finds them with their mates and their own children. Book could be used to review subtraction or could be read backwards for addition. Doubles could be introduced to show how the children ducks doubled when they found a mate. The book is a simple nursery rhyme, for infants and toddlers. It includes numbers that help children with their math skills like counting. The book has repetitive sentences. The illustrations are colorful, and sequenced and helps children study the book. The book shows figurative language that will engage children in making sounds. I liked the five little ducks book. I believe that counting was definitely the main content in this book. The little ducks were so adorable, and I feel that the children will enjoy making quack noises like a duck. The children will be intrigued as the ducks go missing and they count at the same time so it gets them participating. This book is great for young children. This book is good for practicing counting and math. This book teaches problem solving and the children can have discussions on 5 little ducks they think the other ducks went. Overall, this is a great book for young children and can be very interacting.
