Little Quack Hide and Seek

by Lauren Thompson

Little Quack is back for a second round of adventures in this ebullient story for springtime. Mama Duck decides that all the ducklings should learn to play hide-and-seek. And before Little Quack knows what has hit him, all his brothers and sisters disperse to their hiding places, leaving him to find one for himself. Still, no need to panic! Little Quack learns that so long as he keeps quiet and follows Mama from behind, he can 'duck' out of her sight and end up as the winner of the game! Once again, the quack-u-lator appears to teach the fundamentals of subtraction against Derek Anderson's bright and painterly marshy backdrops.

"Whether counting up or counting down, this early introduction to math provides a painless lesson, and the "quack-u-lator" across the bottom of the pages that "adds" ducklings to the pond makes it even more fun."
