Duck in the Truck is a hilarious book! It is about a duck driving around, and he goes through some obstacles on his way home, which includes getting stuck in some mud. Throughout the story, we meet many characters, all animals, who try to help this duck out of the mud. At the end, he eventually is able to get out of the mud, but with doing so, he leaves everyone else stuck in the mud.
I love this book and would definitely use it in my classroom. It is great because there are rhymes throughout the story and it allows children to think creatively. I gave the age range K-2nd because the vocabulary is very simple, but I still think children would enjoy this book mid-elementary school. An idea for a unit on this book would be to have the children focus on the different rhyming words, and have them create their own rhyming story.
