Description
“I laughed. I cried. It moved me. This story is the first I’ve read about the Paradise duck and it’s a wonderful story. This book is suitable for young children. I loved the colour illustration. Because there is only one colour, it stood out. The cover is beautiful. It would probably make me buy the book for someone who likes folk tales and myths. The story is educational and entertaining. The facts about the Paradise duck are interestingly told. I learned a lot while reading how it got its name. I think many parents would like reading this as an enjoyable bedtime story.” The Evening Standard
