About this book
As Duck is driving home his truck gets stuck in the mud. Frog and Sheep come to his aid, but it's only when Goat arrives that a solution is found. This is a very funny tale where the amusing illustrations virtually spring out of every page. A perfect picture book for reading aloud and for sharing.
