(3) PS Illustrated by Margaret Spengler. Three of Mama Duck's prim ducklings obediently swim behind her, but each time she summons the fourth, he stonewalls. When he catches sight of an alligator in the distance, however, he adjusts his attitude. Rather than champion conformity, this tale good-naturedly reinforces the importance of sticking close to caregivers. The saturated pastel illustrations are engaging, especially when part of the image offers an underwater view.
