Duck is not like other ducks. Duck doesn’t like water and is perfectly fine alone, thank you very much. But then, one dark and stormy night, an outgoing, water-loving, and very lost Frog turns up at Duck’s door. Can this odd couple find Frog’s home? And will they find friendship along the way?
This endearing, gorgeously illustrated tale marked the author-illustrator debut for Steve Small, illustrator of the highly acclaimed I’m Sticking with You, and is now available in this board-book edition.

Steve lives in London, and when he’s not painting and drawing, you’ll likely find him feeding the crows on Blackheath Common.
