Early one morning a mama duck goes out walking with her adorable ducklings. But when they reach the nearby town, they run into trouble -- although the mother is big enough to walk right over a storm grate, all five tiny ducklings fall down the slots and into the drain. Luckily, someone sees and calls for help. Together, the townspeople rescue the ducklings.
A sweet story that nicely illustrates the importance of being nice to even the smallest of animals. According to a note at the beginning of the book, this is based on a true story, which adds a little extra weight to the tale.
