Poking your head out of your shell for the very first time is exciting, especially when you immediately bump into a brand-new buddy. When an enthusiastic yellow duckling named Duckie rolls into the wrong nest, she ends up hatching right alongside Snaps, a quiet and observant green crocodile. The two newborns instantly hit it off, ready to explore the riverbank together. But the older animals quickly intervene, warning them that their friendship is absolutely impossible. It is a well-known fact that crocodiles are supposed to eat tasty little ducks! Since nobody ever bothered to tell Duckie she was on the menu, she refuses to let a silly rule ruin her fun. This hilarious and heartwarming story tests the limits of loyalty in the animal kingdom. You will crack up at the zany dialogue as Snaps tries to suppress his natural appetite and prove that true friendship can survive anything, even a very rumbling tummy.
