Description
One duck has some difficulties while hatching her eggs.
Quick Summary
Hazel Hutchins tells a sweet story about a determined mama duck who just can't seem to get her eggs to hatch, no matter how hard she tries. The short word count makes it perfect for early readers who want to feel like they've accomplished something big, or for parents looking for a quick bedtime story that still has real heart to it. Kids who appreciate perseverance and gentle humor will find plenty to love here, especially those who enjoy animal stories with a touch of silliness. There's nothing too heavy or scary just one dedicated duck learning that sometimes things work out in unexpected ways. If your little reader enjoyed "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," they'll likely gravitate toward this one too, since both feature nature themes and simple but satisfying storylines.
