Duck Quentin has a problem. His quack has lost its ‘A’. And, obviously, the D-O-C-T-O-R can’t help. He sets off in search of the missing vowel but finds the farm animals aren’t keen to live on a FRM. Dog offers an O, hen an E, pig an I and bull a U, but ‘Quock’, ‘Queck’, ‘Quick’ and ‘Quuck’ just don’t sound right. He doesn’t fare well at the zoo either, but just as he is fearing he will forever be the duck with the ‘quick quck’, a strange animal with more As than he knows what to do with comes to the rescue: the aardvark.
Another hit from an award-winning duo.
