PSEyewitness Readers series.
Wallace's simple, engaging text introduces a mother duck who builds a nest, lays her eggs, hatches six ducklings, and takes them out for a swim. The book's color photos against white backgrounds are crisp and appealing, though the phony, set-like "river" in which the ducks take their first plunge is off-putting.
