Reviews for the HB edition:
‘Carle's repetitively structured story works perfectly and shows that he has lost none of his touch in the 30 years since The Very Hungry Caterpillar was published.' The Guardian
Lovely review with picture taken from the book. 'It's the perfect-to-read-aloud text and gentle humour, combined with an emotionally satisfying – if unlikely – ending, and those glorious illustrations that will make it a bedtime favourite.' Time Out
'Children's author and illustrator, Carle explores numbers, geography, animals and more in an extraordinary interactive picture book in which rubber ducks are ship-wrecked and swept in all directions to amazing adventures.' The Sun
'Made of Carle's characteristic bold collage, cut from textured scraps of scraped and scrubbed paint, this bright and delightful story typically crams in lots of learn…It shows seas of different colours, suggesting different weather, has a touching ending and, as a bonus, a button at the end that makes a gentle, rubber-duck squeak.' Book of the week, The Sunday Times
With colourful creatures, numbers and a beautiful story, this is one book kids are sure to read again and again.' Grove Magazine

Get swept away with 10 little rubber ducks!
(Book with sound chip)
Chuckedy-chuckedy-chuck
goes the rubber duck machine.
Out pop little yellow rubber ducks
one after the other…
A brand-new batch of rubber ducks is loaded on to a ship and sent off to be delivered to children everywhere. But when a storm strikes, 10 little ducks are tossed into the sea and swept away in 10 different directions – with some wonderfully unexpected adventures along the way.
Come ride the waves as legendary children's book author and illustrator, Eric Carle, explores numbers, directions, opposites, geography, animals and more in an extraordinary interactive picture book, beautifully illustrated with his unique collage-style art. And for a final surprise, the last page contains a duck with a squeaking sound chip for a special treat at the end of the story!

I read this book to children aged 3 and 5 and both they and I could not wait to turn the next page! A great adventure from start to finish. The illustrations are beautiful and the sound effect is an inspired idea. As a huge fan of The Very Hungry Caterpillar I had high hopes for this book. It does not disappoint. If you want an easy way to practice counting from one to ten - this is the book for you. This story makes bedtime fun. Buy a rubber duckie of your own and make bath time even more fun!

Ten little rubber ducks are made in a factory, have their eyes and beaks painted on and then are loaded into a box and onto a ship. They each fall overboard to meet a different animal, from various watery habitats, and then the final one joins a family of real ducks and you can press him at the end for a great quacking noise, which of course children absolutely love. It's a gently appealing story about rubber ducks bobbing around the world, based on a true story, and it also includes numbers, animals from different parts of the globe and the noisy feature at the back.
Eric Carle's illustrations are always colourful and refreshingly distinctive and the stories are generally pretty good. His classic, The Hungry Caterpillar, is a hard book to equal - however, I think this has just about done it. Definitely worth adding to your book shelf and a great present for a small child.

I grew up reading The Hungry Caterpillar and was so interested to see 10 Rubber Ducks. It is a gorgeous book, beautifully constructed, I bought it for a friend's little girl but secretly wanted to keep it for myself. I know she will grow to love it as much as the caterpillar! Please check it out you must see how lovely it is and such a simple story.

Story book
This is a delightful story suitable for 5-7 year olds. Pictures were great and the text large enough for a group of children to see. The inclusion of a CD is a great idea.

Poorly written book
I find reading this book to my Children very tiresome. The way it is written is quite strange and not engaging. I don't like the style of the illustrations. Read more

Eric Carle - 10 Little Rubber Ducks
Eric Carle always delivers, and here's another deeply moving concept book that drills into the young Mind - the simplicity and interest in numbers - collective and dispersed things... Read more

Good Fun
This book was given to us and I'm very glad it was. It is a super read. My only complaint is that to make the duck squeak you have to press very hard. Read more
