What is Webster J. Duck about?

When Webster J. Duck hatches from his egg, there is nobody there to greet him. Determined to find his missing mum, he sets off on a lively search. Along the way, he meets a barking, waggle-tailed “duck”, a baaing, woolly “duck” and an enormous mooing “duck”. But none of them is quite right. With plenty of funny surprises and animal noises, Webster keeps searching until he discovers who his real mum is.
