My Brother the Duck

Pat Zietlow Miller, illustrated by Daniel Wiseman

Stella Wells believes her new baby brother, Drake, is a duck. His name, duck-bill pacifier, and yellow duck-patterned blanket give her early evidence. Stella develops a hypothesis, gathers more facts when her brother quacks, and consults her friend Carla and her principal as experts. She reaches the conclusion that Drake truly is a duck, while the illustrations give readers their own information about the baby and Stella’s investigation.
