When her friends see Dilly-Dally Duck sitting alone in an unusual place in the pond, they become concerned and approach her to see if all is well, in this charming counting tale for beginning readers.
Dilly-Dally Duck hasn't been seen on the river for a while so the other birds and animals take their young to visit her and ask her why she is not swimming. Each day she has one more secret reason why she cannot leave her nest, and on the last day the secrets are finally revealed!
An animal counting book and mystery story in one, this delightful collaboration between writer Elizabeth MacDonald and illustrator Ken Brown is a worthy successor to their highly acclaimed "The Wolf is Coming!".
