Baby Duck is looking forward to his very first swim. He brings his teddy along to watch the fun and tells him he can't wait. BUT...when he gets to the pond with his mum and sisters, he suddenly takes fright. The pond is very big and very deep and very cold. Mummy Duck is most understanding and gives him a cuddle, but even the frog and the resident fish can't convince him to go in. But when Teddy is blown into the pond, it is up to Baby Duck to go to the rescue, and he doesn't hesitate. Off he goes in a flash, and he learns he loves the water. 'This is the best day ever!' Simple, expressive pictures show us all Baby Duck's feelings.
