Watch out! Here comes Duck in a brand new edition of the first book in the million copy bestselling series!
This is the tale of a duck in a truck -
a truck that was stuck in some yucky brown muck.
A sheep in a jeep and a frog in a bush
saw the truck stuck and gave it a push.
But the truck stayed stuck!
What now, can you guess
Could a goat in a boat
get them out of this mess
With a nod to Dr. Seuss and a wink to John Burningham, Jez Alborough deals an irresistible lesson in rhyme and rhythm as well as storytelling, which is hugely entertaining. Child Education
