Synopses & Reviews
Being a duck isnt all its quacked up to be.
But dont try telling that to Frank—hes a chicken with a dream. All he thinks about are webbed feet, waterproof feathers, and the cool water of the pond. So when Frank takes a dip and nearly drowns, his mood turns foul. Luckily, he gets a little human help—in the form of a man-made wet suit and a pair of flippers—and soon hes the speediest bird in the water. And while Frank knows hes ruffled a few feathers, he doesnt care—theres just too much for him to crow about.
Until a certain young chick catches his eye, that is. . . .
