It was very good.
I thought the duck was funny and all the little ducklings were cute
Colin the vampire has moved into his new castle but Duck thinks he lives there. In spite of constant evictions, Duck keeps popping up in the house while Colin is trying to settle in. Nice, fun picture book with lovely illustrations.
