Olive

“Olive: The Duck Who Learned to Fly” is the story of a duckling who grows up. Hoping to learn to fly, Olive takes advice from all the farmyard animals. She has fun, but is never satisfied. Finally a crow advises her to simply step off the top of the barn.

“I'm scared,” Olive says. “I don't know how to fly. Don't I need to get nervous? Don't I need a balloon or a kite or a plane? Or something?”

“Nope,” says the crow. “All you need is you.”

This charming, upbeat tale makes perfect reading for kids ages 6-9. It’s also a great bedtime story for younger children. Easy to follow, mildly fanciful, with humorous dialogue and a cast of lovable characters, it’s become an instant classic.
