Duck's Backyard Paperback / softback

A very funny and philosophical illustrated chapter book by a bestselling author/illustrator pair about courage, true friendship and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind hen on a goose chase as they search for adventure and answers to some big questions. A duck spends her days limping around her backyard with the help of a crutch until one day a blind hen stumbles in, lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey.

The duck will guide the hen; the hen will steady the duck's wobbly leg.

They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes will come true.

The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the way-a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of opinion.

The hen starts to wish she'd taken a guide dog rather than a duck!

When the two finally arrive at their destination after all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world. From the author/illustrator pair of Meet at the Ark at Eight"Hub's standout debut in English...
