Description

Duck is a wooden carousel duck who longs to fly like real ducks. When a stray duckling wanders into the amusement park, Duck takes care of it and tries to teach the duckling to fly, but discovers she herself cannot fly. She then leaves the carousel to find real ducks who can help the duckling learn to fly.

Quick Summary

A merry-go-round duck takes on the biggest challenge of her life when a fluffy duckling mistakes her for Mom. Kids will giggle at the silly attempts to teach flying and swimming by a creature who has never done either, and feel their hearts swell as both duck and caretaker discover what family really means. If your kid loves "The Stray" or heartwarming animal stories, they'll adore this tender and funny read. Perfect for kids ages 5 to 8 in kindergarten through second grade.
