A wonderfully funny story filled with letters, magic and vibrant colour.
Come on an alphabet adventure with Duck in this brilliantly funny story from the bestselling creator of Hugless Douglas.
Duck is a magician. Abracadabra! He can conjure up a bunny, a chicken and even the king of the jungle. But can he make a dragon disappear?
David Melling is one of the UK's best-loved author-illustrators and his stories combine brilliantly imaginative illustrations and unforgettable characters.
