Publisher's Synopsis
One warm summer evening, Daisy the duckling hears from the farmer that a new baby will be coming to the barnyard. But her mother thinks she must have misunderstood; after all, the animals all had their babies in the spring, when Daisy was hatched. Mama Duck begins searching the barnyard to see whether she can figure out what's going on. First she checks with the cows, and then she talks to the sheep. But none of them are expecting a baby anytime soon. Neither are the goats, the llamas, the horses, or Penny the pig; all their babies arrived months ago. Mama Duck thinks it's strange; what new baby could the farmer be talking about? Soon the animals all discover the answer-and what a surprise it is! In this children's story, a mother duck hears a rumor of a new baby coming to the barnyard and sets out to discover the truth.
