¿Los animales tienen mama? ¡Por supuesto que si! Los animales tienen mamá, como tú y como yo, ¡igual! Conoce al bebé canguro que viaja dentro de una bolsa en la barriga de su mamá. Mira cómo el polluelo del cisne navega en el lomo de su mamá.

A través de sus coloridos collages, Eric Carle ofrece a los pequeños lectores no sólo un maravilloso panorama visual, sino también la seguridad que les transmiten las imágenes que muestran cómo las crias son protegidas y queridas por sus mamás. El entretenido juego de preguntas y respuestas invita a niños y adultos a leer juntos en voz alta.

La repetición de frases clave ayudara a los ninos de edad preescolar a iniciarse en el mundo de la lectura. Además aprenderán, de forma divertida, acerca de la naturaleza y conocerán los nombres, ¡algunos sorprendentes!, de los animales que aparecen en el libro.

Creador de numerosos álbumes ilustrados, Eric Carle logra, por medio de la lectura compartida, que niños y adultos comprendan que el amor es capaz de traspasar todas las barreras y unir a todos los seres de este mundo.

This classic picture book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Grouchy Ladybug stars 10 little rubber ducks and their globe-trotting adventures. In Eric Carle’s poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, readers are taken on an exciting voyage of discovery.

"Ducks overboard!" shouts the captain, as a giant wave washes a box of 10 little rubber ducks off his cargo ship and into the sea. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. A whale sings to another. But as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea.

Following the little ducks as they float to all parts of the globe, young explorers can see for themselves the meanings of directional words and learn simple math concepts, such as counting and the use of cardinal and ordinal numbers. Each creature the ducks meet is seen in its own habitat and behaves in a true-to-life manner, offering a very simple first view of biology and geography.

Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight—and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending. "A wonderful read-aloud for storytimes or one-on-one sharing. It's a definite 10," commented School Library Journal in a starred review. "Beautifully composed illustrations," said Booklist. "As sublimely simple and endearing as the playthings it portrays," agreed Publishers Weekly.
