It’s springtime, and the pond is bursting with new life. There are beaver pups, heron hatchlings, and lots and lots of ducklings. Everyone is out and about, swimming, flapping, chirping, and quacking—except for one family of geese. When, oh when, will their last little one break on out and join the waiting world?
Why I like this book: Shake a Leg is about an egg who is not hatching on time. The mother encourages the gosling to break out of the shell and shows themes of patience and taking one’s time.
