Illustrated by
Lee White.
Emily, a very serious girl, meets a very silly duck. She somehow manages to suppress her smile whenever she sees the juggling, socks-wearing creature; only when she spots the fowl in his polka-dotted underwear does Emily lighten up and laugh. The simply told tale is enhanced by its fairly restrained illustrations of the sweet-faced Emily and the affably daffy duck.
