"A wild mother duck lands in a pond outside a Tokyo office building, seemingly oblivious to the crowds of human observers, she raised her brood, then leads them across an eight-lane high-way to a roomier body of water-the great moat in the Emperor's Imperial Gardens. . . . Otani's neatly drawn, evenly lit watercolors capture the tale's simple charm in clean, roomy scenes smiling people in casual Western dress photographing-but never trying to feed or handle-the dappled, lively ducklings."
