The reading levels for this book span a larger gap than usual, the cute rollicking rhyming poem that goes through the book is sure to entertain the younger toddlers set, especially when read with dramatic emphasis and fun voices. It also is engaging enough for older children to enjoy, especially any child who loves camping. They dig worms, they go fishing, all of it in rhyme which makes it a more interesting read than usual. The illustrations are well done, brightly colored and those ducks are as cute as a button.
Reading level: ages 2-6

What to expect: Five adorable little ducks packing up their camping gear and heading out to the woods for a tame but fun adventure.
Publisher’s synopsis:In a small backyard, by a squat stone fence, five little ducks pitch five duck tents. The five little ducks are going camping! They can’t wait for a day of fun at the fishing hole. In the evening they sit around the campfire and toast marshmallows. But just as they’re about to snuggle up tight and drift off to sleep, they hear a scary noise. Whooo can it be?
