Synopsis

Duck is a great swimmer. She splashes around the lake faster than her friend, Gander. But Gander flaps his wings and flies higher in the sky than Duck. The two friends fluff up their feathers and shout at each other, "I am the champion of champions!" Soon they think of the perfect contest. The bird who stands still the longest will be the "forever champion." But as they "freeze-in-place"-not even fidgeting a feather-along comes a host of troublesome visitors. The children next door inspired critically-acclaimed children's author Erica Silverman to create this lively, fun-filled story. In Don't Fidget a Feather!, she deftly captures their spirit of rivalry and of friendship. As youngsters listen to John McDonough's entertaining narration, they will discover winning isn't everything.

Duck and Gander are so intent on deciding which one of them is the greatest at every task that they almost end up being eaten by a hungry fox. (Luckily, they also encountered the world's only fox who cooks his food befor......more

It was a fun book to read for my son. We had a really fun reading experience. We laughed, and we got so tense toward the end of the book. But the ending was beautiful and funny. My son nervously said he thought it would be a sad ending. The illustrations were top-notch.......more
