One of Barron's Little Animal Series published in the Big Board format. Written and illustrated by talented Francois Crozat, there are almost no words, just enough to compliment the gorgeous pictures. I guess you would say it is "A day in the life" of a baby duck. This book has been well loved and does have frayed corners and edges, but inside pages are fine. One small spot on inside cover where something of a sticky nature took off a little of the paper.
