by Steve Small (S&S £12.99, 32 pp)
We’ve all heard the expression ‘takes to it like a duck to water’ but not this Duck, who would far rather snuggle up with a good book in a warm, dry house than get his webbed feet wet.
When a young, lost frog who’d moved in with him returns to his river home, Duck realises that he’s lonely and braves a scary journey to find him again.
A joyful celebration of friendship overcoming your fears.
