Bookroo's summary

When Pip is asked to watch over some eggs, he doesn't expect the chicks to hatch and mistake him for their mother. As the chicks follow him everywhere, Pip must navigate this unexpected adventure. Can he find a way to reunite them with Mother Duck, or will he embrace his new role? This delightful tale of mistaken identity and unexpected bonds will warm your heart and make you smile.

From the publisher

Mother Duck asks Pip to sit on her eggs for a bit. As soon as Pip sits, he hears a tap! The chicks are hatching! The chicks follow Pip, even when Mother Duck returns. Oh no! They think Pip is their mother! With charming art and a sweet, simple text, Mary Morgan tells a fun and touching story about mistaken identity, childhood adventures, and motherly love.
