Synopsis
One Mama Duck paddles and quacks. One, two, three ducklings swim behind. But Dawdle Duckling doesn't follow dutifully behind Mama Duck like his three siblings do. He's too busy preening and playing, splashing and spinning, dunking and dipping . . . and always, always dreaming. Dawdlers and moms alike will love this cheerful, reassuring tale of youthful rebellion and parental protection, with an exciting surprise ending!
