| Summary |
The Mallards look for the perfect spot to raise their young, and find it in the most unlikely place. Their friend Michael, a policeman, helps them to "Make Way for Ducklings" as they march their eight little ones home. A little girl and her mother go out to get "Blueberries for Sal." But Sal and a little bear get mixed up with each other's mothers. Two sisters spending a summer in Maine experience a wonderful variety of natural sights and sounds, in a "Time Of Wonder." Retired fisherman "Burt Dow Deep Water Man" sets out in his leaky boat, the Tidely-Idley, with his pet the Giggling Gull. A storm blows up and they shelter from the storm in the belly of a whale he has recently befriended. "Lentil" saves the day with his harmonica playing when calamity threatens the homecoming celebration for the leading citizen of Alto, Ohio. |
