It's Quacking Time! - Hardcover
Martin Waddell and Jill Barton team up for a ducky celebration of springtime, family, and miraculous new arrivals.
"Did you come in an egg?" Duckling gasped.
"All ducks do," Grandpa said.
Mommy Duck has laid a pale blue egg among the rushes, and soon it will be quacking time at the lake. Duckling has never seen a duck egg before and finds it very hard to believe that a baby duck could fit inside. But now all the family is gathering—Auntie and Cousin and Grandpa—and the excitement is high as they wait for a tap-tap-tap and a CRACK! and, finally, a tiny beak and a head poking out. Little listeners will be more than eager to join in their final chorus: "Quack-quack! Quack-quack-quack!"

From the Inside Flap:
"Did I come in one of those eggs?" Duckling asked his Daddy. "You did," Daddy said. "Your egg was lovely!"
About the Author:
When Mommy Duck lays a pale blue egg, Duckling is very surprised to learn what the egg is for. Duckling is even more surprised to discover that Grandpa came in an egg, too.
But who will be coming in this one - and when? Will it ever be quacking time on the lake? With the help of a patient big sibling, it just might be soon.
