In Quack and Waddle's First Adventure, two young Mallard ducks visit the world outside their quiet lake to meet new friends and have new experiences. Waddle, a curious and daring duck, can hardly wait to explore but Quack, her cautious and faithful companion is a little less eager. During their first adventure they are laughed at by a rabbit, attacked by a hawk, amazed by a possum, chased by a cat, outraged by a raccoon and they form a great friendship with a group of small birds in this new world that they explore. Like anyone who travels, they are happy to go home to a more familiar, safe world in the end, but they are better ducks for their experiences. But beware Quack...Waddle is already busy planning her next adventure.
