THE DUCKS OF LAKE GREGORY AND THEIR "BOOK OF THE WEEK" CLUB


It was a beautiful day at the lake yesterday.  The sun was out - the temperature was warm and all the ducks and coots were in the mood for a story.

As their guest reader, once a week I would choose a book to read to them, after which, they would get their treats.

As soon as they saw me arriving with book in hand, they quickly assembled in a group anxious to hear this week's story.

 I sat down on a tree stump and began to read a passage out of "The Five Geese That Took Over Lake Gregory".  




They did not like my selection for their Book of the Week club and voted me out as guest reader.

HA! I guess you didn't FEED THEM, so they got bored! Our ducks at the civic center park are the same way! I often walk there and the ducks follow me, thinking I'm going to feed them!
