BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The big construction machines are very busy working on the site, but when a small duckling arrives, it's trouble for everyone. Everyone except Digger, who tells the other truck that the ducking is probably looking for its mother. Now, the Duckling is following Digger. When the other ducks complain, Digger and Squirt (the water truck) get an idea to keep her out of the way. But after many days, with the dicking helping everyone, and no mother duck coming to claim her, the trucks make her part of the crew. But when a big storm comes to the site, the trucks can't protect her anymore, and the wind might just blow her away.
I loved all the trucks and their gruff attitudes. The illustrations were great - the tiny duckling first in the way, then helping! It was so cute. A nice length for a read-aloud or a bedtime story.
