This richly-illustrated book in Spanish will make any Eric Carle fan happy. Translated, Ten Rubber Ducks (10 patitos de goma) would be an excellent read aloud for any K-3 class, and would provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn particular words in Spanish. A valuable addition to any kindergarten classroom, this special book could also make young Spanish speakers feel more at home during reading time. Complete with a push-button rubber-ducky sound on the last page, this book helps young readers learn directions (izquierdo, derecho, el norte, el sur) in Spanish, as well as the difference in the sounds of a real duck (cuac) and a rubber duck (chuic).  Also featured are numbers 1-10 as Carle gives each rubber ducky a different journey.
