This picturebook was inspired by an article about a consignment of 29,000 rubber toys, including ducks, that fell overboard from a container ship in 1992. Some of the toys washed up in Alaska, others passed the icebergs of the Bering Strait to find their way into the Atlantic. Carle was moved to write about 10 rubber ducks, swept from a ship in a gale, that drift in all directions. NICOLETTE JONES
