Edith and the Duckling

Dare Wright

Yes, it's another Lonely Doll book with live animals! In this case, Edith and Little Bear find a lost duckling and decide to take care of it. The final Lonely Doll book to be published during Dare Wright's lifetime (a new book in the series is out, composed by Brook Ashley), Edith and the Duckling continued the move toward kinder, gentler Lonely Doll books, with Mr. Bear's gruffness almost entirely gone and replaced with parental concern for the duckling (the parent-grandparent transformation in action?) and Edith and Little Bear joining forces much more closely than usual here.

Another "if you like the series, you'll like this one" book.
