ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten CHILDREN’S BOOK | Pete The Cat Five Little Ducks by James Dean | READ ALOUD
Once upon a time, there were five little ducks who loved to play. They had a cool friend named Pete the Cat. Pete said, “Let’s splash and swim!” But guess what? Only four little ducks jumped in the water.
Ryan wondered, “Where did the other duck go?” Maybe he was busy chasing a butterfly or waiting after lunch to swim.
Next, four little ducks went out to play with Pete the Cat. Pete said, “Let’s jump and hop!” But only three little ducks popped up to play.
Ryan asked, “Where did that duck go?” Maybe his foot was tired, or he went to chase a little bird.
Then, three little ducks went to play with Pete. Pete said, “Let’s try the swings!” But only two little ducks flapped their wings.
Ryan thought, “Where did that duck go?” Maybe he was late for a baseball game or chasing a ladybug.
Two little ducks went out to play with Pete. Pete said, “Let’s roll and run!” But only one little duck came by.
Ryan wondered, “Where did that duck go?” Maybe he went to the library or chased a worm.
One little duck was left to play with Pete. On a rainy day, Pete said, “It’s me and you!” But that little duck left too.
Ryan asked, “Where did that duck go?” Maybe his mom called him for dinner, or he was chasing a butterfly again.
Pete the Cat was all alone, but then he heard a noise. All five little ducks came running back!
The five little ducks shouted, “Hooray!” They made a special treat for Pete. Pete said, “Let’s all have fun!” And they played together until the day was done.
Where did the ducks get a boat? They found a magic lamp, rubbed it, and wished for a boat for Pete the Cat!

—
Five little ducks went out to play with one cool cat leading the way. Pete the Cat said, “Let’s splash and swim!” but only four little ducks jumped in.
“Ryan, what happened to that one duck?”
“Well, he probably just had lunch and now has to wait 30 minutes before he can swim. Maybe he went to chase that butterfly.”
Four little ducks went out to play with one cool cat leading the way. Pete the Cat said, “Let’s jump and hop!” but only three little ducks popped up.
“Ryan, where’d that one duck go?”
“Obviously, his foot got tired from all the swimming, so he can’t jump and hop right now. Maybe he went to chase that little bird.”
Three little ducks went out to play with one cool cat leading the way. Pete said, “Let’s try the swings!” but only two little ducks flapped their wings.
“Ryan, where’d that one duck go?”
“He clearly was late for his baseball game or he was chasing that ladybug.”
Two little ducks went out to play with one cool cat. Pete said, “Let’s roll, let’s run!” but only one little duck came by.
“Ryan, where’d that one duck go?”
“He obviously had to run to the library to return an overdue book.”
“No, he went to chase a worm.”
“A bookworm?”
“I was wrong again.”
One little duck was there to play with one cool cat. On a rainy day, Pete the Cat said, “It’s me and you!” but that little duck left too.
“Ryan, where did that one duck go?”
“His mom called him and said he was late for a meal with his family.”
“No, he’s chasing that butterfly. Maybe the same one as before.”
Pete the Cat went out to play, but all of the ducks had gone away. He said, “Hey, what was that?” and the five little ducks came running back.
Five little ducks all yelled hooray! They made Pete a treat that day. Pete the Cat said, “Let’s all have fun!” and they played until the day was done.
Where did the ducks get that boat? They found a magic lamp, rubbed it, and wished for a boat for Pete the Cat.
