Illustrated by
Kris Di Giacomo.
A young duck always wants to blow past its three siblings and be first...until it's the first to come upon a human couple eating duck for lunch. The joke doesn't quite work--duck-eating humans would horrify a duck no matter the duck's place in line--but the illustrations are droll and expressive and the dialogue-balloon text wonderfully economical.
