(3) K-3 A captain aboard his ship has a gift for his wife at home: a duck egg. After a storm washes the egg overboard, it hatches. The duckling swims to the captain's likewise-adrift fiddle, leading to a roundabout rescue. This wondrous ode to the interconnectivity of it all boasts commanding mixed-media illustrations with weather-churning heavy brushstrokes of acrylic paint.
