Category: Duck

Ducks bring splashes, farmyard chatter and gentle jokes to these stories. A clever bath-time duck helps dry the Little Blue Boat’s sail, Tilly repeats a duck’s greeting across the forest, and Farmer Fred’s duck joins the daily song of the farm. Other tales invite children to copy animal sounds or discover what different animals eat. Most are short, lively read-alouds that soften into a calm goodnight.
