Description

Duck Goes Meow by Juliette MacIver is a delightful tale featuring a little yellow duckling and its animal friends. Each animal is confidently sure of the sound it makes: the dog goes woof, the cow moo, and the hen cluck.

However, when Duck goes "meow", the other animals insist it is wrong and urge Duck to try again. The story takes a surprising turn when Duck's mama arrives, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

Join this fun and unexpected journey as Duck teaches a valuable lesson in self-expression and surprise.
