"Charlie! Charlie!" Professor Albert Dooley groans. "Where are you? Which are you?"

If Dooley doesn't find Charley, he'll be in real trouble.

Charley is one duck in a million, and, what's more, a million-dollar duck!

Based on the wildly funny movie from Walt Disney Productions.

Well, what can one say about a book based on a movie, I've yet to read one that was actually any good and wasn't just a kind of scene by scene summary of the movie. And this book is no different. But since I hadn't seen the movie in many, many years, it was kind of fun. The story is kind of ridiculous. A duck get irradiated accidentally, and suddenly starts laying golden eggs. The duck is given to Professor Dooley's son, Jimmy as a pet, since they can't afford to get a dog. But when they discover that every time a dog barks Charlie will lay a golden egg, well in classic Disney mayhem, chaos ensues. Especially when their neighbourhood tax man gets wind of things!

Apparently this book, is based on a movie, that is based on a book, called Mr. Webfoot Waddle by Ted Key.
