The Duck Who Didn't Like Water

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

One rainy night, Duck discovers a hole in his roof. Popping outside for a bucket, he finds Frog who is lost, and invites him in. Looking for Frog's home, they travel together, ask other animals and end up back at Duck's house. But when Pelican drops by with the mail, he knows where Frog lives! 

Not really about a duck who doesn't like water, while that is his character traits - it's more about a duck who makes friends with a frog. That aside, the illustrations are sweet and the story is cute. Personally, I think the frog was taking advantage of the duck because he really didn't live that far away.
