Jane Cabrera.
When Dora the duck plans a "best egg competition," the other farm animals find the odds stacked against them. Happily, her sportsmanlike friends are as pleased as she when Eggday arrives and Dora announces she's changed the occasion to Duckling Day. The celebratory tone pervades the good-natured foolishness throughout, effectively anticipating the happy ending. Vibrant paintings depict an exuberant cast of animals.
