It's Quacking Time!

By Martin Waddell
Illustrated by Jill Barton

Delightful ducklings, excitable eggs and a celebration of new life – just in time for Easter!

When Mummy Duck lays an egg, everyone quacks with excitement. But Duckling has never seen an egg before. Could there really be a baby duck inside? And could it be that he started that way too? As the days pass, Duckling learns a lot about eggs and birth – and just what all the quackingʼs about!

  • An ideal Easter gift.
  • Reunites the highly successful creators of The Pig in the Pond (Highly Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal).
