Synopsis: The hilarious follow-up to the highly-successful Duck in the Truck and Fix-it Duck, things get even more out of hand when Duck takes the long-suffering Frog and Sheep on a trip out to sea in Goat's boat!

Review: 'Ahoy there, sailors!'comes a cry. 'Is this a boating trip I spy? If there are seas to be explored, make way...... CAPTAIN DUCK'S ON BOARD!'

Duck, frog, sheep and goat return in the latest adventure in Jez Alborough's Duck in the Truck series. Duck has recovered from his DIY disaster (Fix-It-Duck ) and is ready to create havoc in his friends lives once more.

The hapless four are hilarious in this picture book version of situation comedy that compares to the exploits of Compo, Cleggy and the rest of the Last of the Summer Wine gang. Frog clings in terror to the mooring rope while Duck declares that 'Frog is having so much fun.' Alborough's text is perfect for reading aloud and appeals to children's natural affinities for rhythm and rhyme.

If you haven't yet discovered the delight of Duck and Co,now is the time to get to know them.
