ABOUT THE BOOK Dixie Duck has always wanted a family, but she doesn't like all the commotion in Farmer Green's fowl yard! If she raises her babies there, how will she ever get any rest?

As Burton the Scarecrow comes to help her find them, Dixie learns an important life lesson about cooperation, friendship, and the value of companionship.
