Duck Pond

The children's mother wanted to see Swan Lake but she couldn't book the tickets. So the children decided to do their own ballet.

 Ben, Jojo, Sam, Mouse, their mother and their father watched the TV. It showed Swan Lake at the Playhouse. They had not knew the ballet before, but they, except Mouse,  wanted to go there. Their father called to book the tickets but he couldn't. So children decided to cheer her mother up by putting on Swan Lake. 

However, Ben and Mouse didn't like the sad ballet so they decided to do a duck ballet! Then they set to work. They were wearing yellow clothes and duck masks and appeared in front of their mother and father. They started dancing and said "Quacky quacky!" instead of talking. Their mother and father really enjoyed it and clapped. 

I really like this book! The children are considerate and enjoyed the preparation. I felt the importance of family.
