Dear Duck, Please Come!

by Sarah Mackenzie, Charles Santoso (Illustrator)

Overview

Winner of the IPPY Gold Medal for Picture Books (under 7)

“A sweet, funny story . . . great for fans of A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh.” —Kirkus Reviews

On the other side of the old wooden bridge, deep in Piney Glen, Duck opens his mailbox to find a letter from Rabbit:

Dear Duck,
Please come! I lost my tooth.

Duck sets out to find that tooth—it’s a good-friend thing to do, after all. Along the way, he enlists help from Badger, Turtle, Squirrel, and Mouse.

Can they be the kind of friends Rabbit most needs?
