One Little Duck

The classic ‘Five Little Ducks’ meets We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and I Went Walking in an irresistibly fresh, cute and clever picture book that pre-schoolers will love.

One little duck went out one day,

over the hills and far away.

Mother Duck said …

‘Moo Moo Moo Moo,’

and Cow said, ‘Wait! Now I’m coming too.’

Oh no, Mother Duck has forgotten how to quack!

Every day she tries a new barnyard call, and every night Little Duck returns with a new farm friend.

A fun twist on the song ‘Five Little Ducks’, this delightful story from the award-winning duo Katrina Germein and Danny Snell is destined to become a modern classic.
