This review is from: Danny the Duck With No Quack (Storytime) (Paperback)

This story is about a duck (Danny) who, for some strange reason, doesn't talk. The other hens and ducks in the yard make fun of him for it. He gets fed up with the ridicule and goes off into the woods to find his quack but instead finds two hungry foxes. The foxes make Danny carry their pot and then fill it with water and only when they try to stick Danny in the pot does Danny magically find his voice. He runs back to the yard to tell the others and they help him run the foxes off.

Really not a fan of this book. The message of the book is confusing and I personally don't appreciate all the examples of bullying. This author has over 100 books on Amazon. Some of them are getting great reviews. Maybe try one of those!
