A Duckling Called Button

The second in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger listeners by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters.

Jasmine’s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself....

When a nesting duck is killed in a terrible accident, Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, rescue the eggs and try to hatch them in an incubator. It’s a risky business, but soon Button is running around, getting into scrapes. Until the day he gets into a scrape with no escape....

Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for listeners aged seven and up.
