This is Duck. Duck lives at my house. Duck thinks Im the greatest. Im Ducks hero. The narrator of this story assumes that Duck both loves and needs him. But when Duck goes missing, things like playing in the bath, story time and even chocolate cake lose their appeal. Great is the relief when Duck is discovered under a cushion but even greater is the discovery that the narrator needs Duck just as much as Duck needs him! Duck is a heart-warming story which touches on the developmental, early childhood stage of the blanky or comfort toy.
