The adventures with Paddle and his pond friends continue in this second book. Paddle has very large feet that often get in the way of him walking like other ducks, but he doesn't let it hinder him helping his friends or stop him enjoying an adventure. In this book, Paddle helps his friend Monty and his family get to their new home by keeping them safe from the many dangers that surround the pond, especially the large hawk flying above. The motto of these "Paddle" books is to help children overcome obstacles and learn how rewarding it is to help others.
