Summary
Lillee, the littlest duck in the family, decides she does not want to learn how to swim and so takes off, marching into the woods, but being new to the world, she is unaware of the danger she faces and must be extra careful when making new friends.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

Lillee was the last to hatch and the smallest and skinniest of the ducklings. Her older brothers and sisters all went into the pond and swam at once. But Lillee doesn't want to take her feet off the ground! She'll drown if she goes into the water! Her mother warns her about Furry-legs, Long-tail, Sharp-snout, Pink-tongue Fox who will gobble her up if she can't swim. But Lillee is going to practice walking instead! And off she marches into the dark, green forest.

This comic story with its hilarious illustrations mounts in suspense as a wily stranger Lillee meets shows her the best things to eat to fatten her up. Her adventures while she's hampered by a piece of eggshell that partly covers her eyes will keep small children half-worried and wholly entertained. How Lillee finally learns to swim and fly is a triumph young readers will share.
