About this ebook

When the baby duck hatched, the first thing it saw was Davy. It fluffed its feathers - and started following Davy everywhere. Around the farmyard, under the apple trees and all the way home.
From picture-book masters Margaret Wild and Julie Vivas comes this gentle and moving story about the love between a little boy and the duckling that stays with him all of its life.
