PS
Listeners familiar with the nursery rhyme know the plot line: every day ducks go out; every day the returning group shrinks by one. But the particulars--highlighted in glorious pulp-painted illustrations and chock-full of opportunities for participation--create a multilayered adventure. The book is filled with the wonder of the natural world alongside practical information such as counting and days of the week; animal picture glossary appended.
