Acclaimed author Nancy Tafuri hides the little duck somewhere on each page--have YOU seen it? This almost-wordless book is both a fun counting game and an exciting hidden-picture hunt for the youngest readers.
Mother Duck is missing one of her brood. "Have you seen my duckling?" she asks the bird, and the turtle, and the beaver, and the fish. But young readers who look carefully around the pond will see something Mother Duck doesn't see!
