Ruby's brothers and sisters are always racing off in search of adventure. "This way, Ruby!" they call, as they race through reed beds and run up grassy banks. But little Ruby likes to take things slowly, in her own time. She prefers to look at all the lovely things that surround her - which is just as well, for when the ducklings get lost in a storm, it's down to Ruby to find the way home!
