Description

Even the most delightful ducks can have a bad day . . .

What’s the matter with Dick the Duck? He’s usually so kind and friendly!

But today Dick got out on The Wrong Side of Bed. He feels humpy and grumpy, cranky and cross. Can anyone help cheer him up?

Luckily Dick’s friends rally round and shower him with kindness, and Dick is soon back to his usual delightful self!

This magnificently funny rhyming story shows that even the most delightful ducks can have a bad day. (And that’s totally okay!)

  • Children will adore this hilarious rhyming story by the much-loved author of the PONGWIFFY books
  • Kaye Umansky is one of the funniest children’s writers around. This brilliant rhyming story is a joy to read aloud, and has echoes of Dr Seuss
  • Ben Mantle’s superb colourful illustrations bring every character to life. Each page is packed with fabulous, funny details
  • Full of warmth and humour, Dick the Delightful Duck shows even the youngest children that it’s okay not to be okay, and how they can be a good friend
