From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K–To keep track of her 12 ducklings, Mama Duck groups them and regroups them–in twos, then threes, then fours, and finally in two lines of six. A hungry wolf with poor eyesight smells them marching through the weeds and decides to attack. Hearing One, two, he thinks that it will be easy for him to capture his lunch. Hes in for a surprise when he learns that Mama Duck has her offspring in two groups, and that 12 ducklings can pack a punch. Each little bird has an individual hairstyle and a personality to go with it, making the bold color illustrations fun to follow while looking for the wolf. Kids will enjoy this read-aloud that introduces math concepts. The text falls short as some rhymes work (back/track) while others do not (out/count), but dont let that stop anyone from enjoying the educational value of this book and its funny little quackers.–Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
