We were just waiting fir what duck would do next ... duck at his best we laughed so much we cried!
Another book in the duck series well worth a purchase in our opinion.

This one is possibly the best, or at least tied in first place with Fix It Duck. Apart from some slightly dodgy grammar ("I can make your team more tall" says Frog!?) this book is a superlative riot from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Format:Paperback
Very funny story for younger children. My two year old asks for it every single night at bed-time.
The simple rhymes make it easy to encourage your child to learn new words and help you "read" the story. Our son probably only has a vocabulary of about 50 words, but in amongst those are duck, ball, bat, tree, out, frog all from this one book.
It's such good fun to read that the adult doesn't get bored of it either. Has a nice moral sentiment too, which isn't always the case for childrens' books. Duck gets his just desserts for being too impulsive and over-keen, while frog who is belittled at the beginning of the book becomes the hero at the end.

Duck's great
Great book - very funny and good addition to my son's set! Still think Fix it Duck is the funniest in the series but this comes a close second!

Both our 2 and 4 yr old sons love all the Duck books, so this one was a success as expected. Fantastic value for money, as read over and over again.
