(3) K-3 Raccoon Waddles, a loyal friend, offers to sit atop best duck pal Emily's nest while she finds food. He fends off a fox and is on site when the ducklings hatch. The sensitive and rewarding narrative is organized seasonally, conveying the duckling's growth, migration, and return to the idyllic pond setting. McPhail's artistic command of expression and characterization is on full display.
