This book is about all the combinations that make up the number 7.
“Seven ducklings in a row. Count those ducklings as they go”-  Now place the finger      puppets on the felt board one at a time counting aloud 1 -7.
With each turn of the page filled with catchy rhythmic rhyming words, a new combination is       formed.  Use your finger puppets and move them to visually demonstrate the combinations: 6 + 1, 5 + 2, 4 + 3, 3 + 4, 2 + 5, 1 + 6
There are 42 ladybugs hidden throughout the book, cover to cover. The children will delight in looking for and counting them! (42 in all)
The pages are full of pond science with other pond critters to find.
Last page surprise - ducks fly off in their typical V-shape pattern forming the number 7 in the sky! “Good-bye ducks, good-bye.”
