with a boy and his dog, as they stopped, looked, and noticed things
along their path, ultimately discovering the miracle a hatching baby
bird. ON DUCK POND continues the journey of the boy and dog, this time
in a new place--a serene pond, filled with birds, frogs, turtles, and
other creatures going about their quiet business. Their intrusion stirs
the pond into a cacophony of activity, reaching a climactic chaos before
slowly settling back to a quiet equilibrium. This beautiful and
