Synopsis

On a peaceful farm, Duck notices something alarming falling from the sky. He urgently warns the other animals by shouting "DUCK!" However, they misunderstand, thinking he's merely stating his name. Annoyed, they ignore his cries. But when the unexpected happens, they realise too late that Duck was trying to protect them. This humorous picture book, filled with wordplay and lively illustrations, is perfect for reading aloud and engaging young readers.
