Duck and his buddy Mouse are on their way to an important meeting.
(Little do we humans know that the animals that surround us, whether it be, mouse, rat, frog or cow, are always looking out for us.)
The meeting is for the animals of the town of Redhill to report in about their unsung kindnesses to humans.
They might not receive recognition for what they do, but like the Animal Creed says…
…Coexistence is our aim.
patience is the remedy.
Let’s never forget,
idiots are not the enemy.
Humans can’t help being stupid after all, and that’s why Duck and his fellow animals are always on alert to put things right. But when the Redhill humans do something unforgivable, Duck, and Mouse want revenge. Well, mostly Mouse, but Duck can totally understand his point of view.
Not only do a bunch of hi-vis humans destroy something important to them, Duck, Mouse and their dog friend Steve, find more humans acting strangely. They are all lining up outside a huge black dome which definitely was not there before. The sign outside says The Coffee Dome, and Duck has a bad feeling about it.
Determined to know more about this “…giant shiny butt cheek” of a building, Duck decides they need to get inside.
What he finds changes everything!
From the funny man himself (author & illustrator of Funny Kid), DUCK is the first book in a new series.
A side character in the hilarious Funny Kid series, DUCK is now the star. He and his mates Mouse and Police Dog Steve, mean well, but cause chaos in this novel which is part chapter book, part comic and a whole lot of laughs.
Scattered throughout the novel are small comic strips that add to the chapter with gags galore, instead of normal style illustration.
The tension rises during the novel, leaving readers wondering what DUCK is about to do…. Will he really change everything between animals and humans in the town of Redhill forever?
