Slappy: A Little Duck with Big Ideas

by Elsie Church, Catherine Taylor (Illustrator)

Slappy sets out to see the world encountering people and circumstances along the way and being pushed in here and pulled out there to try to be a "pusson" but ends by learning he's a duck and is better off being himself than trying to be a "person".

Oh my goodness -- my very favorite childhood tale. Slappy learned it was best to be himself and I think that just possibly I learned it right along with him… how many times this one was read to me would be impossible to tell. I still have my cherished copy.
