endearing duckling back in this sweet picture-book companion. This time, Aunt Buttercup is sitting on an egg for Daisy's mum, and young Daisy can't wait for her new brother or sister to be born. But when all three of Aunt Buttercup's eggs hatch, Mama's green egg doesn't! "'Some eggs just don't hatch,' said Mama Duck. 'Come and play with your cousins, Daisy.'" But Daisy doesn't want to leave Mama's egg, and helps keep it warm even when night falls, and she is cold and tired. Finally, Daisy and her mom wake up in the morning to aPip! Pip! Pip!. It was her little brother! "And together they watched the sun rise on Little Pip's hatching day." Young children will love the irresistible ducks (just look at that face!), and of course the fact that Daisy doesn't give up on the egg no matter what. Each of Simmons's soft, artful paintings portrays an intimate perspective on Daisy's family, from the close-up comfort of the warm, feathery nest to an unusual cat- tail view of the ducks gathered around the fledgling Pip.

During her visits she listens to the ... ...will have a sibling and Daisy can't contain her excitement.
On the day of 'hatching' they all look on as the babies struggle to get out until the first one comes out whereupon Daisy declares that it looks disgusting!
Daisy's three cousins are born but her Mummy's egg still hasn't hatched. Her Mummy tells her that they don't always hatch and she should play with her cousins. Hugely disappointed by this, Daisy wraps the little egg up in feathers ...
