Description
The book follows Paul as he visits a city park across the seasons and watches Mallard ducks grow from eggs to ducklings to fledglings. The narrative uses a cumulative, sing-song verse pattern similar to "The House that Jack Built" while featuring flaps that reveal scientific facts about duck development. It also includes a note to parents about observing nature without disturbing it.
