A ducky new bedtime tale from the creators of Where’s My Mommy?
It’s bedtime for the five little ducklings. The first little duckling says, “Okay. It’s been a very busy day.” The second little duckling says, “Come on! Let’s go and put our jammies on.” But when the fifth little duckling says with delight, “I’m not going to bed tonight . . .”—the smooth-running train to bedtime is temporarily derailed. However, a little cooperation from the ducklings and a little love from Mama duck soon set things right for a happy, snuggly night.
Sometimes you can be your own best friend.Ducky wants to enjoy the beautiful day,
but he can’t find a friend who has time to play.
Every parent who has heard their child say, “There’s no one to play with,” will nod their head with understanding delight as Ducky discovers his new friend. Even the youngest children will figure out what’s really happening long before Ducky does in this lyrical story that’s sure to leave them smiling. Along the way they too will discover that being “just Ducky” is just ducky fun.

LITERACY EXTENDERS:
- Have a Pillow fight! Plan a sleepover, even if it is only pretend! Let your child get out a sleeping bag, snacks, and flashlight! Invite a friend over and let them build a fort!
- Ask them about what will happen if the ducks stay up all night? Ask them how they feel when they do not get a good night's rest!
- Talk about playing and how it is OK to play on our own when a friend may be busy.
- Make a list of things that your child can do to play on his/her own.
- Ask them about Ducky and why Ducky thinks that he is playing with a new friend?
