The Long Island Ducklings, written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. Published in 1961 by Lantern Press.

The peaceful life of Shady Pond is interrupted twice a year by the loud squawking of migrating wild ducks. The Duckling family, residents of Shady Pond, acquire an exciting and colorful new friend, Mr. Drake, to whom they give lodging for the winter while his injured wing heals.

Mr. Drake is grateful to the Duckling family and never forgets their kindness, which he repays most wonderfully after tragedy strikes the Duckling home.
