I know you don't buy a finger puppet book if you're looking for a gripping page-turner, but this book's text is lame and boring. Nothing happens! Little duck is shy, likes the water and the sky, etc., and he likes to play peekaboo. The end. The illustrations are equally lame, basically depicting the duck in a pond or....next to the pond. My son looooves books of all kinds, but this one, not so much. We just use this as a finger puppet and skip the book part all-together. You would do better by buying a bunch of inexpensive finger puppets (ikea sells a bunch for cheap) and creating your own stories and songs.
