Joyce Dunbar

Lost in their own worlds, three unusual creatures are powerless to find answers, until a small boy appears, who seems stranger, odder, and even more lost than they. As the three creatures comfort the child, they discover their hearts' desires, while their new friend finds surprising ways to make all their dreams and wishes come true.

Duck is in a very grumpy mood. The pond is dry, and she doesn't want to roll in the mud with Pig, sing with Rooster, doze with Tortoise, eat laundry with Goat, or join any of the other animals in their pastimes. To make matters worse, the gray cloud that's following Duck is growing bigger by the minute, and now her friends are feeling gloomy as well. What will it take to cheer them all up? --from Amazon.
