Synopsis
One winter night, a cozy house full of animals is awakened by a knock at the front door. They have no idea what they'll find on the other side, and Max the duck is the last thing they expect. Soon this larger-than-life houseguest is making himself at home--and forcing his way into the hearts of his reluctant hosts.
Child Magazine
Most ducks fly south for the winter-but not free-thinking Max. When snow falls, he takes refuge in a home already packed with pets. Rib-tickling cartoons play up the duck's new lifestyle and the friction it causes (when he hogs the remote control and whips up unpopular dishes like "Max's Seaweed Chowder"). Then spring arrives and it's time for Max to fly the coop. Will life at home ever be the same? (ages 4 to 7)
