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.
"Here be monsters—and they are monstrously fun!"—starred, Kirkus Reviews
"The bright artwork, created with acrylic paint and spray paint, contains whimsical details and makes great use of visual humor. With sparse text and large-scale illustrations, this is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschool storytimes that is clever enough to entertain adults, too."—starred, Booklist
"Children who get their hands on this oversize, glossy delight, filled with made-to-linger details, will be lucky ducks indeed."—starred, Publishers Weekly
"Teachers may find this book to be a humorous read aloud; children will enjoy the comical facial expressions of the characters and the scene of the underwater world of the lake. Reviewer Rating: 4" –Children's Literature
