A wonderfully ridiculous story about a happy group of young ducks who rashly decide to take a holiday… Although they are warned by the birds that they meet along the way, the ducks cannot believe that anything can possibly go wrong. But it does! How the ducks outwit their captors and make their way back home and to safety is touching told and beautifully reflected in the elegant and eloquent lithographs that accompany the text.
