Vamos a recorrer el mundo
con los 10 patitos de goma
Patos al agua grita el capitan del barco mercante al ver que una ola gigante ha lanzado al mar una caja de diez patitos de goma de su cargamento. Los diez patitos se dispersan en todas las direcciones. Hay uno que se va hacia el oeste, donde se encuentra con un simpatico delfin que salta por encima de el. A otro le canta una ballena. Pero cuando se pone el sol, el decimo patito de goma se queda solo, solo y abandonado en medio del inmenso mar. El pequeno lector sin duda se identificara con los apuros por los que pasa el patito y se quedara absolutamente encantado con el entranable y sorprendente desenlace.
En este conmovedor y simpatico cuento, ilustrado con una genial tecnica basada en el collage, Eric Carle tambien invita al lector a un viaje lleno de sorpresas y descubrimientos. Siguiendo a los patitos que se dispersan por las distintas zonas del globo terrestre, el nino reconocera el uso de las expresiones verbales que indican direccion, asi como la numeracion ordinal y cardinal. Los animales con los que se encuentra cada uno de los patitos se muestran en su propio habitat y con su comportamiento habitual, lo cual supone un primer acercamiento a los conceptos de biologia y de geografia.
Todos a bordo para un divertido viaje hacia el conocimiento

Synopsis
Ahoy All aboard for a world of learning and fun
"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. The ducks are swept away in various directions. 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. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending.
In this poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, Eric Carle takes readers on an exciting voyage of discovery. 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.
