Meet Duck and Goose, two young birds who mistake a polka-dot ball for an egg and have to master the art of cooperation--and sharing--to take care of it. But friendship is not always easy, as proved in this funny, accessible story.

One by one five little ducklings tumble off the bridge into the river below--and mother duck follows them.

Duck finds a book and is surprised to discover that there are books with words and no pictures--and that even without pictures a book can interest and excite you.

Despite the fact that she swims with a teacup balanced on her head and stays north when all of the ducks fly south for the winter, Theodora believes herself to be a normal duck and makes a friend in Chad, who may be as eccentric as she is.

As Farmer Brown prepares the house for Christmas, Duck tries to play Santa--but he gets stuck in the chimney, along with all the other animals who try to help.

When her mother, the world's leading expert on ducks, goes missing, Calla North must outwit the headmistress at her new boarding school to find her mom, with the help of a few new friends and a motley crew of resourceful nuns.

When the rest of the ducks turn on her ugly duckling, because he isn't like them, Mother Duck sadly leaves him behind in order to protect her other children. With the help of some new friends, Ugly makes his way alone, but he doesn't know where he's going or what he's looking for.

An excited Duck wants to hang out with Bear. But Bear's gone fishing for a whole week and is happy to finally get a second alone.
