Publisher's Synopsis
Roguishly fun, Gadwall, King of the Ducks by Dan Davidson begs to be read aloud and makes for a great tool to spark children's imaginations-and their intellect. With colorful cut-block illustrations by Bethany Davidson, this beginning reader introduces Gadwall, a brown duck who knows in his heart that birds of a feather should flock together-and fly together. When his herd of dithering ducklings cannot find a leader brave enough to guide the flock to Mexico for the winter-what with those pesky duck hunters, and all-Gadwall, the most unassuming one in the pack, will find a way to fly at night by an ingenious beam of light. With the other smart and fancy ducks at a loss, it is Gadwall's cleverly inspired radiance that will save the migration.
