John Philip Duck is a story of a child's determination to save his animal friend. The main character, Edward, managed to keep his pet duck a secret from the hotel manager for a while. When the angry manager sees the duck and tries to shoo it away with the other ducks, Edward shows him that this duck can march to John Philip Sousa! In order to save the other ducks, Edward must teach all of them to march as well as stay in the fountain. A great read aloud, this book appeals to students who know what it's like to try to convince their family they are ready for a pet as well as students who have had to go to work with their parents or siblings.
