story shows a real friendship between a boy and his duck

Favorite characters: Dabble the Duck and Jason the young boy Dabble starts out as a baby duck that belongs to a young boy named Jason. But Dabble grows and grows into a large white duck, and Jason's parents must decide whether Dabble has outgrown the apartment and might be happier on farm. You will have to read the book to see what happens to Dabble. It is a great story for any kids who have pets, as it shows how much Jason cares about Dabble. The pictures in the book are very colorful and the story shows a real friendship between a boy and his duck. I recommend it for all ages.

Duck and dog each have a problem solved.

Its a shame this book is out of print for its a fun story that teaches compassion. Dabble is cute as a chick, but as a full grown duck he makes a mess in his apartment home. He also is very lonely when his boy goes to school. Then one day on a walk they find an injured, bedraggled dog. The dog finds a caring home and Dabble has a friend. A heartwarming and funny story for preschoolers
