In the hollow of a tree, higher than the eye can see...nine wood ducks hatch, one by one. “That’s good!” says Mama. “We’re almost done.” One last egg is very still.... Finally, the smallest egg hatches. Then it’s time for all the wood ducks to make the BIG jump from the tree—where their mother made her nest—to the water below. Ducklings One through Nine make the leap. But Duckling Ten isn’t so sure!

This adorable counting book highlights the giant leap that wood ducks must make on their second day in the world.
