Four ducks are tired of their small pond and set out for an adventure in the big lake. Walking at the back, Eric isn't sure. Hes heard theres a monster in the lake, but his friends dont believe a word of that old story! Eric reluctantly tags along, only to make a startling discovery and find himself in a wonderful underwater adventure.
This large-format picture book features a detailed fold-out underwater world of mechanical marvels and sea creatures. The story of a nervous duck who finds courage and the overconfidence of groups will resonate with anyone whos nervously dipped a toe in unknown waters.
