George is supposed to be feeding the ducks while The Man with the Yellow Hat helps Mrs. Renkins look for her lost baby chicks. But somehow, “feeding the ducks” turns into a trip down the river for George and Jumpy. At first, it’s fun, but soon George and Jumpy realize they’re getting pretty far from home. With the help of some familiar landmarks, they make their way back safely—and the baby chicks find them!
