About The Book

A trio of ducks encounters a squelchy puddle in this hilarious Ready-to-Go Ready-to-Read by Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor–winning author-illustrator Vikram Madan.

Three little ducks plus one puddle of muck equals a whole lot of muddy and messy merriment when one daring duckie decides to take a dip!

Perfect for kids at the beginning of their reading journeys, these stories were written for children who have learned the alphabet and are ready to start reading! And what better way to get kids excited than with a hilarious story with words they can read on their own?

Each Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read includes a note to parents explaining what their child can expect, a guide at the beginning for readers to become familiar with the words they will encounter in the story, and reading comprehension questions at the end. Each Ready-to-Go! story contains about 100 words and features sight words, rhyming words, and repetition to help children reinforce their new reading skills. In these books, readers will learn ten sight words and eleven words from two word families. So come on and get reading!
