A mother wood duck peeks out of a hole in an old, twisted tree in a swamp. Once she’s sure no predators are close by, the mother duck jumps from the nest hole to the ground. Then, one, two, three—tiny, fluffy ducklings start to jump from the tree. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of its primary-grade audience, this colorful, fact-filled book gives readers a chance not only to learn all about wood ducks and the swamp habitat in which they live, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Built-in activities give readers a chance to gain insights beyond the facts and figures.
