Lively Attitude - But Short on Skill


We are visiting Genevieve’s Grandparents for the weekend, commonly known as ‘Granny-Bob’, and have access to a whole new cache of books.  One of the family’s favourites for weekends like this is Jez Alborough’s very lively ‘Fix-It Duck’.  Fix-It Duck is blessed with a lively attitude and loads of enthusiasm, but is a bit short on common sense and skill. 


When a leaking roof plague’s Duck, he can’t wait to grab his handyman tools and take on the role of maintenance man.  The trouble is, when Duck starts fixing things – the problems quickly multiply.  An array of disasters soon strike including a car accident, broken windows and Sheep’s sinking caravan. The book comes with a CD that has the story told in an amusing accents and sound effects - and of course a catchy tune that promises to keeep both young and old in an upbeat mood!
