Summary

Peep, Chirp, and Quack — a chicken, a robin, and a duck — discover the signs of spring as the world warms up and grows. Like every Peep story, it models the science-inquiry habits of observing closely, asking questions, and trying things out, which makes it a gentle fit for a preK–1 science circle.
