(4) PS Illustrated by Jill Barton. Baby Duck wants to join the swim team, but her lack of confidence keeps her poolside. As the team practices and her family twirls and dives in the water, Baby sits and watches. As always, Grampa gently nudges her toward success. While the story itself is rather shallow, the watercolors capture the tender feeling between Baby and Grampa as they "sit awhile" until Baby is ready to jump in webbed-feet first.
