It's Quacking Time

Martin Waddell and Jill Barton team up for a ducky celebration of springtime, family, and miraculous new arrivals. “Did you come in an egg?” Duckling gasped.”All ducks do,” Grandpa said. Mommy Duck has laid a pale blue egg among the rushes, and soon it will be quacking time at the lake. Duckling has never seen a duck egg before and finds it very hard to believe that a baby duck could fit inside. But now all the family is gathering Auntie and Cousin and Grandpa and the excitement is high as they wait for a tap-tap-tap and a CRACK! and, finally, a tiny beak and a head poking out. Little listeners will be more than eager to join in their final chorus: “Quack-quack! Quack-quack-quack!”
