Official synopsis Publisher
One dog . . . SO many ducklings! In this laugh-out-loud board book that explores the meaning of family, Ralph the dog unexpectedly becomes the new dad to a flock of ducklings, and soon realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew! Perfect for Father’s Day and hilariously adorable all year round.
Ralph the dog enjoyed a quiet life . . . until the day he stumbles across an egg. Surely the best thing for him to do is ignore it and walk right on by. But, CRACK! The egg hatches, then and there.
What’s inside? A cute and fluffy little duckling searching for a parent. And though Ralph isn’t sure he wants a duckling, the duckling is definitely sure it wants Ralph! As does the very excitable, very loud, and very large flock of ducklings in the nearby field. . .
Filled with heart, hilarity, and adorably raucous ducklings, Lorna Scobie’s Duck, Duck, Dad is a celebration of love and community that is perfect for all families, big and small—and fans of Mother Bruce, Harry the Dirty Dog, and Gaston.
