Illustrated by
Hiroe Nakata.
In this cheerful follow-up to Duck Skates, five ducks spend the day at the beach, where the feathered friends split up in various permutations ("Four ducks spy one bright red crab. / Three ducks shout. Two ducks grab"). The sunny illustrations, in which the sea breeze and sand-spattered fun are almost palpable, give readers the opportunity to double-check the head counts.
