What is Fergus Goes Quackers! about?

Fergus the dog is puzzled when five baby ducks begin following him everywhere. He barks at them, but they do not listen. The next morning, the ducks have learnt to say “woof woof” instead of “quack”! Fergus tries quacking back, but nothing seems to work. As the mixed-up animals copy one another and cause more confusion, Fergus wonders whether he really is going quackers. A funny farmyard story about unexpected friendships, silly sounds and keeping calm when things get noisy.
