Monster in the Lake

Description:

Four ducks are tired of their small pond and set out for an adventure in the big lake.

Walking at the back, Eric isn't sure. He's heard there's a monster in the lake, but his friends don't believe a word of that old story! Eric reluctantly tags along, only to make a startling discovery and find himself in a wonderful underwater adventure.

This large-format picture book features a detailed, fold-out, underwater world of mechanical marvels and sea creatures. The story of a nervous duck who finds courage and the overconfidence of groups will resonate with anyone who's nervously dipped a toe in unknown waters.

Brief description: Leo Timmers is a leading Belgian author and illustrator, whose many successful picture books have been published in forty languages. He has a large following as one of Belgium's preeminent picture book artists.
