When Mother Duck finds a lone lost egg, she decides to take it under her wing and raise it as her own. One by one, all her eggs hatch, and Mother Duck loves her little ducklings, no matter how different they may be...
Children love to feel wiser than the characters in a story, so they will adore spotting that Snap really is a VERY different kind of duckling! The fact that the story is an alternative version to the traditional Ugly Duckling story will also make it a valuable learning tool for the Literacy Hour.
