Colin’s new castle is perfect in every way – apart from the DUCK.
The duck pops up when Colin’s in the bath. When he’s watching telly. When he’s ON THELOO. QUACK!
But where there’s a will, there’s a way. Colin has a PLAN. Will he succeed in banishing Duck from his castle and leading the bird-free life that he dreams of?

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.
