"Though Dodsworth has misgivings about taking his mischievous duck to Japan, 'a land of customs, manners, and order,' the bird behaves pretty well as they visit a restaurant, a park, and a Tokyo museum. The duck's antics at a temple antagonize the crowd, but he wins their respect through his kindness to a little girl. [Readers 4 to 8] will find plenty to like about the hapless duck, who tries to be good but can't always manage it. Illustrated with pleasing ink-and-watercolor artwork, this amusing story is told in three chapters.... From the Dodsworth series, [this is] another fine, funny book."—Booklist
