Illustrated by
Hiroe Nakata.
Bouncy rhyming couplets describe five ducklings and their bicycle expedition to an apple tree: "Wind-swept ducklings coast to a stop / At a rock by a tree with a snack on top." Standing on tippy toes, they gather apples, cycle home, and make a delicious pie. Loose watercolor and ink illustrations lend an appropriately spontaneous air to the lighthearted outing.
