I wish that I had duck feet
By Dr. Seuss
Animal features seem fantastic—until one little boy discovers they’re not quite as useful as they look.
Genres
What is I wish that I had duck feet about?
What if you had duck feet, deer antlers, a whale spout on your head or a wonderfully long nose? In this playful rhyming adventure, a little boy imagines all the amazing things he could do with animal features. But each new wish brings unexpected problems, from getting stuck to making a terrible mess. After trying out every possibility, he discovers that being himself is best of all. Colourful illustrations, funny surprises and lively wordplay make this a joyful story to read aloud.
