This is a unique story about a rubber duck whose crate aboard a barge breaks and the duck falls into the ocean. It encounters many things from sea snakes to being gulped down and then spit out by a shark. Eventually, the duck drifts to the Alaskan shoreline and is found by a boy and his friend, along with many other bathtub toys. They immediately go to report their findings to a lady who is keeping track of where the bath toys are found. The neatest thing about this story is that it's based on a real event that happened in 1991! It's also told in first person viewpoint.
