The Independent Online Edition has an article on Eric Carle and his new book, 10 Little Rubber Ducks. I have shared Rubber Ducks with one preschool storytime, a preschool class, and two classes of kindergarteners and the result is always the same: pure delight. Oh, and though the article mentions malfunctions in the noisemakers at the end, ours has been thoroughly tested by lots of little fingers and continues to work flawlessly. The preschool class immediately insisted that I bring another Eric Carle book with me next week and I am only too happy to do just that.
