It's springtime and Mrs. Webster's fourth grade class is excited to find feathery new residents in their school courtyard after Memorial Day break. But their plans to learn more about the ducks, and even go outside to sketch them in their sketch- pads, are quickly interrupted by an unforeseen accident. So what do you do when a bunch of baby ducklings fall down a drain? That's exactly what some of the children of Suregood Elementary are wondering. Daniel and his friends face a dilemma. Should they help (if so, how?), or should they let nature take its own course . . . ? This book was written...
