Hit the Ball, Duck by Jez Alborough
New cover reissue in million copy best-selling Duck in the Truck series. Duck and friends go out one day with a bat, a ball and a glove to play. Duck hits the ball – but where does it fall? On a branch in the tree, now they can’t play at all. Frog has an idea, Duck lends a hand but nothing turns out quite as planned.‘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
