The Duck Can't Sleep

Long past bedtime, a sleepless walker circles the reservoir in New York's Central Park and is surprised to find a duck just as wide awake. Based on a 1928 New Yorker poem by E. B. White, the author of Charlotte's Web, and appearing in book form for the first time, this gentle bedtime picture book celebrates nature in unexpected places. Illustrated in rich mixed-media collage by two-time Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet, with a note from White's granddaughter.
