    Mrs Plug isn´t a normal woman. The has an unusual job – she is a plumber.
  • Review: I bought the book during my trip to Glasgow last summer. It was pure chance to find it on a bargain counter. The story is wonderful because of being so different. Mrs Plug is such a great person. Children can learn that they don´t have to be „normal“ to be happy and that some people have unusual jobs. So they maybe try to find out what they really want to become and are honest to themselves. I can recommend it to all people, children and adults, especial teachers in primary schools.

  • Review: I bought the book during my trip to Glasgow last summer. An from the beginning until now I love it. And my class loves it, too.The pictures are very beautiful and the story of the rubber ducks wonderful and with much phantasy. Little children can learn the numbers ans names of some animals while reading it and start to dream of being one of this little rubber ducks and experience nice things like them by their own. It is great that the book comes with a CD, so you can listen to the book even if their is no one, you can read it and you can hear someone speaking in his mother tongue.  I can recommend it to all people, children and adults.
