Overview
On the lakeshore lives a family of five ducks. One of them always wants to be first. In this book, we see how the mom take her children to do different activities. She takes them to a pond to fish, then to bath time, and then to dinner time. Each time, the duckling raises his wings and yells, “Me first, me first!” But by the end of the story, he’ll have learned a valuable lesson.
