I purchased this one the grounds that it was a Caldecott winner or runner up or whatever. I was disappointed. I like the illustrations, which are of a marsh, and have some very realistic illustrations of birds, badgers, salamanders, etc. but there is almost no text. The whole idea for this book is to find the missing baby duckling on the page, someplace, as it hides behind a log or whatever in the background. Sort of a "where's waldo" for a duckling. So far my one year old has not caught onto this, and seems really bored by this...Here is the total text for the entire book, with numbers denoting pages.1.Early one morning...2. none3. none4.none5. none6.none7. none8.

We would look at the book together at night and I would ask her to find where the missing duckling was on each page. (You can see the tip or bill or wing of the duckling on the page, although it is quite difficult in a few places). She would look around for it and locate it for me (or I would assist) and we would keep going. We would also discuss the animals that the mama duck was running into, and what the duckling was hiding behind, etc.
