Illustrated by
Sylvia Long.
Five freshly hatched ducklings follow their mother into the pond, but one swims off alone and loses sight of Mama. He searches the pond and meadow for her, and finally the family is reunited. The rhyming tale flows smoothly, and the attractive pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations provide character and inviting details.
