Nora's Duck

Nora finds a little duck in the woods and takes it to her friend, DR.John, a retired doctor who now runs an animal sancuary. Dr. John tells her that the duck will be fine after a little rest. He then takes Nora on a tour of the grounds and introduces her to other animals that have come to be in his care. Later in the afternoon they check on Nora's duck and sure enough it is better. Nora introduces the duck to Dr. John's other guests before returning it to the pond where it rejoins its mother and siblings. This is the most heart-warming of the Nora books and the fact that there really IS a Dr. John makes the story that much more special! The book is out-of-print now but it is well worth an o.p. book search to add this gem to your Nora collection.
