Candlewick has selected NINE DUCKS NINE to be a BIG Book because it exemplifies the qualities — rhythmic texts, repetitive words, dynamic illustrations, and engaging story lines — that make large-format books so useful in helping children to read and learn.
Synopsis
When a hungry fox starts following nine innocent ducks, the ducks get wise -- and slip away from his clutches, one by one.
Children will have loads of fun as they learn to count backward (a very difficult concept) from nine to one.
The mathematical theme and Sarah Hayes's bright, colorful illustrations make this Big Book a perfect choice for classroom use.
