Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who's just starting to read on their own, this little story about a duckling with a feather obsession is a winner. Dilly loses one of her downy feathers to a sudden gust of wind, and what follows is a hilarious game of chase that keeps escalating in the funniest way possible she just cannot catch that thing. The humor is gentle and silly rather than scary, and the short sentences make it perfect for kids building confidence as readers. Freedman has this way of writing that's sweet without being mushy, which means parents actually enjoy reading it aloud as much as kids enjoy hearing it. If your little one liked "Duck! Rabbit!" or books with that silly animal vibe, this one will feel right at home on the shelf.
