The Monster in the Lake
A monstrously good picture book about a nervous duck who takes his courage in hand and discovers a spectacular underwater wonderland.
Four ducks are tired of their small pond and set out for an adventure in the big lake. Walking at the back, Eric isn't sure. He’s heard there’s a monster in the lake, but his friends don’t believe a word of that old story!
Eric reluctantly tags along, only to make a startling discovery and find himself in a wonderful underwater adventure. This large-format picture book features a detailed, fold-out, underwater world of mechanical marvels and sea creatures.
The story of a nervous duck who finds courage and the overconfidence of groups will resonate with anyone who’s nervously dipped a toe in unknown waters. The Monster in the Lake by Leo Timmers captures this journey with captivating illustrations and an engaging storyline.
