Uncle Hen's Gumboots is a reader friendly picture book that can be read to 2 to 5 year olds and read with comprehension by 5 year olds and older, who get meaning from a combination of colourfully detailed illustrations and easy text.
On his way home from work, as school caretaker, Uncle Hen finds five little lost ducklings. Mother duck was nowhere to be seen. Uncle Hen takes them home. Next morning the ducklings follow him to school and their adventures begin.
The school will never be the same again.
