Based on the nursery rhyme “Five Little Ducks,” this cheerful lift-the-flap book is perfect for sharing at springtime.

Five little chicks went out one day,
over the hills and far away . . .
Mama Hen said, “Hurry back to me!”
Now how many chicks can you see?

Join this fluffy little family on a beautiful walk through the countryside. There’s so much to see as Mama Hen and her brood wind through a flowery meadow, a bluebell wood, a field full of lambs, and a busy farmyard. Along the way, they meet all kinds of baby animals and their parents. But wait—the chicks are disappearing one by one. Whatever could they be up to? Lift the flaps to find the chicks and discover a fantastic surprise ending.
