Duck's Tale

32 pp. | North-South | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-2133-0 $16.95
(3) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Duck's pompous friend, Toad, is busy reading and doesn't have time to talk about the pen Duck found. Duck decides to write his life story and have Toad read it aloud. The illustrations show that Duck's story is just scribbles, but Toad does a fine job interpreting the mess. A comforting message of friendship is embedded in this quirky tale.
