Mr. McCloskey's marvelous mallards : the making of make way for ducklings / Emma Bland Smith ; illustrated by Becca Stadtlander.

Smith, Emma Bland, (author.). Stadtlander, Becca, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"As soon as artist Robert McCloskey saw the ducks in Boston Public Garden, he knew he had to write about them. But how? Studying stuffed birds didn't help... As the ducklings grew, he got down on his hands and knees and followed them with pad and pencil. At times he even acted like a duck! Through revision, after revision, Robert improved the art and story, until he and his editor were finally satisfied."-- Adapted from front jacket flap.
