Captain Duck Summary

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.

Praise for Hit the Ball Duck:
