Our first story introduces Inquiry, Inc, a cast of problem-solving characters, on a mission to rescue baby ducklings from a storm drain. Through interactive handoffs, readers help Inquiry, Inc. ask questions, brainstorm solutions, and test their ideas by building storm drain models. Together they fulfill the group’s motto: “Got a problem that won’t go away? Inquiry Inc. will save the day!”
