Summary
This is the charming rhyming tale of Little Chicken Duck, a nervous bird whose fear of water prevents her from learning to swim. Taken under Froggie's wing, she is brought into the forest clearing, where each of the birds, in turn, confesses their deepest fear and how they came to terms with it. Armed with their stories of bravery and Froggie's support, Little Chicken Duck, 'feeling cheerful, brave and plucky', is finally able to overcome her fear of water and swim in the pond.
