Seven Little Ducklings is a sweet and comical counting book featuring mama duck and her seven eggs. She awakes one more to find her ducklings have hatched while she was asleep and she leaps to action to gather her wayward offspring. As she finds some and rescues others from calamities she adds other young animals to her brood. When they get back to the nest that night she finds she has thirteen and not her original seven. A mother’s love knows no bounds and she settles them all under her wings for a good night’s sleep.

Gorgeous watercolor illustrations set the scene on each page with clarity and focus.

Ages 3-7
