My book review of 'The Duck Who Didn't Like Water' by Steve Small

Recommended age: 3+

Duck doesn't like water, or company particularly. He is perfectly happy living alone in his little house, reading books and drinking hot chocolate.

Then one night he's woken up to rain pouring through a hole in the roof. He goes outside to fetch a bucket and discovers a frog who's lost.

Duck invited frog to take shelter for the night and suggested that they would both search for his home in the morning.

Even though frog was enjoying the rain, he took duck up on his kind offer.

The next day they embarked on their quest. They met other interesting animals along the way, and developed a good friendship.

What would happen when they found frog's home?

This is a wonderfully amusing, quirkily illustrated tale which shows that no matter how different we may seem, we can still become friends. I loved it!
