Why families love it
A trip around the world, one page at a time
Made for laps, long drives and bedtime. Little ones point and name things; bigger kids race to find Duckie first.
Fair hiding spots
Duckie is always standing on something, peeking from behind something, or sitting where a small duck could sit.
Learn the country
An illustrated map and place index up front, then 78 stops across the whole country.
Grows with them
From 18 months and up. Toddlers spot the red beanie; older kids explore every corner of the page.
The books
25 countries, one curious duck
Each book is a trip through one country: its cities, mountains, markets and festivals, drawn with local details and everyday people. Duckie hides somewhere believable on every page.
Then more countries keep rolling out
A planned rollout of 25 countries, starting with Japan and China. Order and dates to be announced. Every edition is subject to production readiness and Amazon approval.
