Mama's Little Duckling

(4) PS Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. Dandelion Duckling convinces overprotective Mama Quack to let him go exploring. He narrowly escapes a pike and a hawk, saved just in time by his mom. Duckling soon learns the dangers of the pond and reverses roles by warning Mama Quack about a menacing weasel. In this overly cautionary story, companionable paintings of mother and duckling display the drama of the pond.
