Watch out! Here comes Duck in the Truck in a brand new edition of the first book in the million-copy bestselling series!

This is the tale of a duck in a truck— a truck that was stuck in some yucky brown muck. A sheep in a jeep and a frog in a bush saw the truck stuck and gave it a push. But the truck stayed stuck! What now, can you guess? Could a goat in a boat get them out of this mess?
