Critics Review
Just as the title of this satisfying counting book says, there’s one duck stuck (in the muck, as it turns out). Different groups of marshland creatures, from two fish to ten dragonflies, appear with an offer of help … [children will be] enchanted by Chapman’s vibrant pictures and the immensely satisfying sounds and rhythms of Root’s text.
—Publishers Weekly
Perfect for reading aloud, this counting book not only contains bright bold illustrations but also has lots of ‘clomp, clomp’ and ‘splish, splash,’ as well as other sound effects that children will love to replicate… great fun and sure to become an instant favorite among the toddler crowd.
—Booklist
[A] merry counting book … Root’s bouncy tale, aided by rousing watercolor illustrations, would be a delight even if the duck in question didn’t eventually manage to fly free of ‘the muggy, buggy marsh.’
