The story: Meet an amazing imaginary dog, an intelligent heroic duck and a
half goose and half swan – a swoose! These are three wonderful and delightful and hilarious stories about animals and no-one, none at all, writes
animal stories better than Dick King Smith, not even Lucy Daniels,
author of Dolphins in Deep, Roald Dahl, author of Fantastic Mr. Fox, or even EB White, author of Charlotte''s Web.
