Number Nine Duckling Book

I gotta love a book that ends with not only a joke, but also a cliffhanger!

Everyone is so nice and supportive in this book that it can't help but make me happy. Delushka Duck, a Russian Muscovy duck, mind you, made her nest on top of a high haystack. When her 9 eggs were hatched, she led her ducklings off to find breakfast. She leaped off the haystack and they all followed her example and jumped to the ground. All except number nine. He was too afraid to jump down. His mom and sibs all tried to get him to jump, but he wouln't. Then other animals came by and tried to help him too, and telling him anyone can jump. Did he ever jump? Did he wait for them to bring him "breakfast in bed"? I won't give away the denouement of this dramatic story, so you'll have to read it for yourselves.
