From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-Pete and his toy polar bear have a grand adventure when they visit Grandpa's farm on a hot summer day. They discover that the ducks have disappeared from the dried-up pond and set off to find them. Knowing that the creatures like to swim, Pete searches alternative swimming sites. Gathering the ducks in small groups, from the dog's water bowl, the pump, and other wet spots, Pete counts and recounts until all 10 are found. The brightly colored spreads are simple and attractive, and the text is unobtrusively placed in open areas of the pictures. Lively illustrations of puzzled pigs, curious sheep, excited ducks, and a confident little boy will delight readers. The child's-eye view is especially successful; the size and perspective of familiar objects are just as Pete would see them. He is front and center, and all-important in his world. This appealing story will work equally well when shared one-on-one or when paired with other duckling tales or barnyard favorites for storytimes.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
