It didn't take long for my 2 1/2 year old son to start saying the words along with me. He loves saying the numbers and " stuck in the muck...". It is written in an amusing and rythmic fashion, so it is easy to read and remember. I originally got the book from the library, and my son loved it so much, I bought it. But, unfortunately, the board book is so abridged, that it leaves out all of the fun word play. Go for the original book. It will be a hit with any kid.

I checked this book out of the library and my daughter and I loved it. So, I ordered the board book version for her (she's 1 1/2), and found that a good 1/2 of the book is cut out. I'm returning it and getting the regular edition. So, if you like the toungue twisting verses, don't buy the board book.

All the charm of the original, and all the clever rhymns, are left OUT of the board book version. I LOVE the original, and was so excited to see a board book edition, until I started to read it aloud to my twin toddlers. Get the original, paper version. It's SO CUTE!

I purchased this book for my son to replace his well used copy.
I was very disappointed to find out that it is not the full version. This should be mentioned in the item's description. Now I will have to purchase another book[the full version] elsewhere.
I would however give the full version a rating of 5 stars.

One Duck Stuck is a darling children's book -- that moms and dads will love, too! We checked this out of the library, and liked it so much we went to amazon.com and bought 3!

It's rhythmic verse is enchanting and the kids recite it like a song. The alliteration is clever, as well.

The illustrations are colorful and alive!

The whole book just draws you in and makes you want to read it over and over again.

It's a feel-good, happy, sing-song little story the whole family will love.

I have read this book to my children and all the neighborhood children! I have even brought this book into their classrooms when I was asked to read to the class. I made up flash cards for them to holler out the "help, help" etc. The students just LOVED it and by the end of the book they were all joining in! GREAT fun!! for all ages!

My one year loves books - but not just any books. They have to be quick paced (to keep up with his fast page turning), have colorful and interesting illustrations, and have a repetitive but catchy story-line.

ONE DUCK STUCK delivers on all three counts and became a favorite the day we got it. The cheerful rhyme "no luck, still stuck" repeats on almost ever page, the story is cute with a good moral (all the animals work together to free the stuck duck) and the pictures are vibrant and interesting to the youngest of readers. We own tons of books but this is one of my son's top four and is re-read time and time again without him losing interest.

My 2 1/2 year old loves calling out the rhyming words as we read through this book - duck, stuck, muck. Nicely illustrated. Be prepared to read this over and over.

Probably one of the best books we have ever owned. My children have loved this story from 15 months old right through to 8 years old. The fun and rhythm of the book are unmatched. I am now buying several copies for friends with toddlers, knowing how much pleasure they will get and for how many years.

I used this colorfully illustrated book to review counting with my students. They enjoyed reviewing their numbers as well as hearing the sing-song verse. It was a great way to warm up for a math lesson on counting groups of objects. Each page had a numbered grouping of animals that was easy to count.
