The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.

Our title for March is Mr. Duck Means Business written by Tammi Sauer and illustrated by Jeff Mack.

Mr. Duck enjoys his routine and the peace and quiet of his pond. He is definitely not happy when all the other barnyard animals arrive to take a swim -- Pig does a cannonball, Cow does a Belly-flop, and the rest of the animals play a rowdy game of Marco Polo.

Angered by all the noise and commotion, Mr. Duck "tapped. He flapped. He totally snapped." When the animals fail to see how frustrated he is, Mr. Duck yells and orders them Out of His Pond!

Soon Mr. Duck has quiet again -- but now it seems a little too quiet. Will Mr. Duck invite all his friends back to enjoy the pond?
