Illustrated by
Jill Barton.
Baby Duck, who doesn't care a whit that she is involved in a universal rite of passage, resists leaving the known (home) for the unknown (school). But Grampa, as always, knows just the right thing to say, and soon Baby Duck is happily heading off to school. As in the previous books, both Hest's text and Barton's illustrations contain details that accurately capture a preschooler's many moods.
