A duck crossing guard helps four little ducklings cross the street. Each of the ducklings has a backpack like they are going to school. The crossing guard duck has a bright green mallard drake head, and is holding a “duck x-ing” (crossing) sign. He is blowing a whistle while wearing a reflective vest. 

The text reads: “Tweet! Tweet! The crossing guard helps the ducklings get to school safe.”
