It follows a duck who goes out into the world to show the world what a duck is, with hilarious encounters with many other animals. it's very sweet, funny, and engaging at the same time.
I'm in my 20's, and I found this book hilarious. It tops my all time favorite childrens book of Go Dog Go!

...But you can do worse. If you only know the GB editions of GW's books from the *1970's*, you'll be in for a wonderful shock from this book.
The image quality is 3X as good! So bright, sharp, distinctive and subtle in coloring. These are basically fine art plates. Lucky us! Part of it is probably due to the very high quality paper, but most of it has to be due to the LOVE OF THE ART on behalf of those who published this tribute Treasury.
But there's more. (And this is where it gets a bit nasty.) For some reason, in the *1970's* GB editions of these books, the publisher often DELETED PAGES! Several of the books featured in their ENTIRETY here have many pages that never appeared in the 1970's editions. And many of these pages feature the VERY BEST ART! It was so wonderful to finally find them here. ...Dismaying as well. What a crime! I can only imagine that the publisher was trying to save paper costs: they always killed pages in groups of 4. Can you imagine the low, venal insult to art and children in doing such a thing? Here's a real example of an artist pouring his heart out, but being thwarted by chiselers. Well, maybe there's another explanation: I hope so for the sakes of GB.
Thank heavens, wrongs are gloriously righted in this gorgeous new volume.
I daresay you will cherish it as one of your most favorite story books, if not your #1. Thanks!
