Illustrated by Jonathan Bentley.
The unnamed narrator of this story assumes that Duck both loves and needs him. But when Duck goes missing‚ things like playing in the bath‚ story time and even chocolate cake lose their appeal. Great is the relief when Duck is discovered under a cushion ... but even greater is the discovery that the narrator needs Duck just as much as Duck needs him!
The story opens with:
This is Duck
Duck lives at my house.
Duck thinks I'm the greatest.
I'm Duck's hero.
The story closes with:
This is Duck
Duck lives at my house.
I think Duck's the greatest.
Duck's my hero.
