For parents: what happens in the story
A curious duckling decides that if people can swim, a duck should be able to drive. A steep hill, an unattended car, and a pond soon test his reasoning.
Simon thinks he has become the world’s first driving duck. His accidental ride ends in the family pond, frightening everyone and upsetting the nest. After his family is safely reunited, he decides ducks are simply too short to drive.
