Bookroo's summary

Jasmine Green, an aspiring veterinarian, discovers a nest of orphaned duck eggs in the woods. With her best friend Tom, she faces the challenge of keeping them warm and safe. As the eggs require constant care, Jasmine must use her animal knowledge and determination to ensure they hatch. Will her efforts bring a new duckling to the Green family farm, or will the fragile eggs be lost? Join Jasmine on a heartwarming journey of love, luck, and the joy of new life at Oak Tree Farm.

From the publisher

In the second tale in a heartwarming new chapter-book series, aspiring veterinarian Jasmine Green hatches a plan to save a clutch of duck eggs. Jasmine Green’s mom is a veterinarian and her dad is a farmer. She has spent her life surrounded by animals. So when she sees animals that need rescuing, she knows just what to do. While walking in the woods, Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, find a nest of orphaned duck eggs. The eggs need lots of care. Hatching them is hard work. Can Jasmine keep the eggs warm and safe? With a little love and luck, the Green family farm will have a fluffy duckling friend for life. Author Helen Peters and illustrator Ellie Snowdon return for a charming springtime visit to Oak Tree Farm. Reminiscent of James Herriot and Dick King-Smith’s classic stories, yet thoroughly modern, this second book in the Jasmine Green series is perfect for animal-loving readers.
