Bookroo's summary

Willie loves counting the eleven ducklings following their mother outside the motel. But when some ducklings start disappearing, the adults dismiss his concerns. Determined and clever, Willie must rely on his counting skills and compassion to uncover the truth. Can he solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

One…two…three…Willie is having fun counting the eleven ducklings parading behind mama duck outside the motel restaurant. But soon he realizes that some of the ducklings seem to be disappearing, and the grown-ups he tells don’t take him very seriously. It’s up to a resourceful young boy to show that good counting and caring are called for to get to the bottom of things.
