Captain Duck by Jez Alborough

New cover reissue in million copy best-selling Duck in the Truck series. ‘Ahoy there, sailors!’ comes a cry. ‘Is this a boating trip I spy?’ If there are seas to be explored, make way… CAPTAIN DUCK’S ON BOARD! As usual with Duck, things get terribly out of hand when he takes the long-suffering Frog and Sheep on a trip out to sea in Goat’s boat! But although Duck likes to think of himself as an expert sailor he soon runs into problems and the friends have to spend a long, cold night out on the rolling waves.

‘With a nod to DrSeuss 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
