Pallas Gates McCorquodale of Foreword Reviews wrote:

"A friendly little duck goes for a stroll, meeting a playful elephant, hungry horses, funny hogs, musical grasshoppers, monkeys jumping on the bed, and an amusing array of other animals. All the while, he waddles and quacks, quacks and waddles. Count along from one to eleven with the big-eyed, round-cheeked, sunny-colored duckling. Fitzpatrick’s book turns number practice into a lighthearted romp through grass, mud, and puddles, encouraging fun and play for little learners."
