Illustrated by
Guy Parker-Rees.
Mucky Ducky loves mud; his mother is a neat freak. One day, just as she is about to stop Ducky from wallowing in the muddy millpond, she falls in--and has a blast. The writing is generically giddy, and the cartoony art is hectic, but kids will respond well to the notion of a longtime killjoy parent finally seeing the light.
