This endearing story is written by Angela Cater, a secretary at the school where Mrs Mallard chooses to build her nest. This beautifully illustrated tale will appeal to children everywhere and is set to become a firm favourite with the youngest children at Manchester High School for Girls, who will love reading a story based on a ture event that occurs each year in their own school. <p><font face="Arial"><em>Mrs Claire Hewitt, Head Mistress, Manchester High School for Girls<br /><br /></em></font></p> <p><font face="Arial">Who doesn't love an adorable downy duckling? In 'A Perfect Nest for Mrs Mallard', we follow two determined ducks as they find just the right spot for their nest, then take their new family to the nearby lake. This charming story, sprinkled with interesting bits of information about ducks and their habitat is a delight from beginning to end.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><em>Jean Tennant, author of 'Olivia's Birthday Puppy'</em></font></p>
