All of Duck's friends have jobs in the city, and they never stop talking about them. Duck doesn't think it sounds very exciting, but he decides to try it, and in this inspirational tale for readers 4 to 7, it's not long before he discovers that it is not for him! At last, he knows he needs to follow his heart and pursue his dream of being an artist. Adding a dash of dry wit to his text ("Public transport is tricky for ducks"), Sonny Ross depicts Duck as a quirky yet loveable everyman.
