Publisher's synopsis:Once upon a time there was a little wooden duck that sat on the windowsill of Annie's bedroom. Every day Annie picked up the little green duck and stroked it, wishing it could see and hear and speak to her. But the little green wooden duck continued to sit silently on the windowsill, until one day something quite miraculous happened.
Book review:This gentle story is a little reminiscent of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytales.
