When five little ducks decide to go camping, everything is fine until… night comes and imaginations take over, chasing five little ducks together in one duck tent.

A tale of fishing, fun and frolics, the lilting rhyme also lends itself to a fun read-aloud for the youngest listeners. Nakata’s watercolor and ink illustrations are bright and friendly and invite the reader into the pages filled with minimal text.  One in a series about these ducks (look for Duck Skates and Duck Dunks) this charming little picture book is a nice addition to a classroom or library.
