Duck at the Door

When his flock migrates south for the winter, Max opts to stay behind-and quickly regrets it. Luckily, Irene and her pets live nearby in a cozy house, so the quirky duck makes himself right at home for the season, and proves to be a bit of a pest. Just when everyone has had their fill of Max's favorite TV shows, blanket hogging, and experimental cuisine, spring arrives, and he leaves to reunite with his flock-and, naturally, the entire household feels his absence.

Mrs. Willis' class thought this book was very funny. It reminds some of them of the book Duck Rabbit. It reminds some of them of Hit the Ball Duck.
