A muddy detour becomes a duck’s playdate

A rainstorm leaves Duck’s truck stuck on the way to meet friends. When their efforts to free it don’t work, Duck finds another way to keep the gathering going. The story pairs a simple problem-solving turn with bouncy rhyming text, while also introducing phonics and decodable skills. Its central idea is that a situation can sometimes be approached differently instead of fixed as planned.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy picture books featuring ducks, trucks, and friends
  • Beginning readers practicing phonics and decodable skills
  • Families looking for a story about adapting when plans change

Book overview

Fans of Doreen Cronin and Mo Willems will love this hilarious picture book about a duck who gets his truck stuck in the mud--but winds up having a party when he changes his perspective.

Duck in his truck is making his way to a playdate with friends when a sudden rainstorm turns the trip into a sticky situation. But what luck! Duck's friends come to him and work to get the truck out of the muck. When that doesn't work, Duck changes his perspective and saves the playdate! Truck in the Muck reminds readers that sometimes the problem doesn't need a solution, just a change in the way you look at it.

Bouncy, rhyming text introduces readers to phonics and decodable skills.
