Oh NO! Mama Duck has lost one of her ducklings.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle… crack, crack, crack!
Mama Duck’s eggs are hatching—but one duckling is nowhere to be found. With determination (and a whole lot of hope), she heads into the wetlands, searching high and low and carefully sitting on every egg she finds along the way. But as each egg hatches, Mama Duck discovers something unexpected: not every egg holds what she’s looking for.
