Series: Penguin Core Concepts

This classic children's book was first published in 1933. Ping's owner takes him and his siblings to the river for dinner. Ping is the last duck in the water and would receive a spanking if he returned home late. So he hides. The next morning, Ping is still at the river and is watching some boats, when a boy captures him for his family's dinner that night. Thankfully, the boy releases Ping later that day. And when Ping sees his master's boat, he quickly swims toward it and happily receives his punishment for being late. Better safe than sorry!

The Story About Ping covers the concepts Family and Problem Solving.

This classic children's book was first published in 1933 and is still as delightful and relevant as ever. Ping's owner takes him and his siblings to the river for dinner. When it's time to go, Ping is the last duck in the water and, as such, will receive a spanking. To avoid punishment, he hides-only to be captured the next morning by a young boy for his family's dinner. Finally Ping is set free, and when he sees his master's boat, the last thing he fears is a spanking-he's just thankful to be home!
