Take the plunge with best-selling author Lauren Thompson. When Mama Duck says it's time for her brood to paddle across the pond, the brothers Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, and Puddle all follow along. But Little Quack's not sure that he's ready to leave the nest. With just a little push from Mama and a little more confidence in himself, he may wind up the best swimmer in the bunch! And to top it all off, readers can count along with the Quack-u-lator, which appears every time a duck casts off.
