Wave Excitement

Picture
   A bored Louie the Duck makes an unhappy Louie. He doesn't want to pick berries. He doesn't want to gather tender water plants and bugs to eat. He doesn't want to play silly games with his cousins. He wants adventure. He wants excitement.
 ​   But, what's a young duck to do when his whole world revolves around a cove on a lake and no one else understands him?

Louie Finds a Friend 

Picture
   A young duck, who enjoys things like riding waves, can become quite lonely. Louie didn’t have any friends except two cousins, who didn’t like to ride waves.
​   When Mr. and Mrs. Goose’s grandson, Gus, comes to live with them, Louie promises Mrs. Goose that he will be Gus’ friend. But, can Louie finally have a friend, one who doesn’t think he’s odd because he is different? Can being different be all right?

The Hatchling

Picture
   Louie and his best friend Gus enjoyed playing and riding waves in the lake where they lived. One day, they returned to the nesting area to discover Louie would become a big brother. Excited, Louie talks about the little brother or sister that would come.
   The egg in the nest would hatch before long, but would the hatchling become more important to Louie than Gus? Would Louie enjoy having a little brother or sister as much as he thought he would?
​   Follow along as Louie and Gus discover the truth.

Big Bill Returns

Picture
    Louie’s older brother wanted to travel. He didn’t want to stay at one lake all his life. One day, he flew away with some visiting ducks and only came to see his family once in a while. Louie told his friends about Big Bill one cold winter day. Gus wanted to know why he never heard about Big Bill before. After all, he and Louie were best friends.
   When Big Bill came home and told Louie that he would stay, Louie thought his life would be so exciting. But, would his life be any different? Why did Big Bill have time for little brother Quacker but not for Louie? What good was having a big brother?
