Ben goes to the park and meets Duck. Duck... isn't like other birds. Duck is persistent. And greedy. And determined. And he follows Ben home. What is Ben to do? Make a new friend, of course!

This charming story for toddlers is full of chuckle-worthy moments. The uncomplicated, delicate water-colour illustrations capture the gentle humour of the story and provide visual clues that encourage young listeners to move beyond the simple text towards an intuitive understanding of a more complex narrative.

Thoroughly delightful.

Gifted children vary a lot. Some are great at sports. Some have disabilities. Children can be gifted or not along one or more of a large number of dimensions. Labels like "gifted" need to be used carefully as all children are different.
