More DescriptionGrowing up is never easy, but for an imaginative young drake it may well be impossible! Easily distracted by the endless fascinations of the world around him, Otis finds it hard to focus on any one thing for long. Even important, life-saving tasks such as learning to swim and fly can't keep his attention. Fortunately, this drake is as lucky as he is unique. After numerous mishaps and near misses-and with an unbeatable flair for the dramatic that will delight young readers-the befuddled Otis turns himself into swashbuckling Jack Quack, Renegade Drake, Prince of the Forest, King of the Lake. Miraculously, he even lives to tell the tale! Wonderfully detailed illustrations, focusing on facial expression and natural scenery, enhance the overall enjoyment of a truly madcap caper.
