Hannah George.
When Goose goes away, Duck is left in charge of the pond. Immediately he begins issuing orders: no racing, fishing, or diving. Soon all the animals leave for a friendlier meadow. Alone in the empty pond, Duck predictably realizes his bossy ways and apologizes. Bright, cheerful illustrations depict the animals' quirky personalities and add amusing touches to the story.
