He's my little pal,
Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,
Daisy is his gal,
Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,
In his sailor suit,
Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,
Gee, I think he's cute!
I love the way he waddles and I like to hear him talk,
And when somebody makes him mad,
QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! How he can squawk!
Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,
Cocky as can be,
Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,
Here's what he taught me,
When someone knocks you down,
Get right up again,
Show some pluck like Donald Duck,
QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!
The second volume in Carl Bark's ever popular Donald Duck series, this high-quality collection catalogues the further adventures of a certain famous duck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, his girlfriend Daisy, his Uncle Scrooge, and guest pest Gladstone Gander. Some must-reads are:
A Christmas for Shacktown-Donald, Daisy, and the kids all want to chip in money to make a good Christmas for the impoverished families of Shacktown. There's just one tiny little itsy-bitsy(fairly huge) caveat: getting tight-fisted Uncle Scrooge to part with so much as a penny!(As the ever-quotable Babs Bunny once said, "Playing on his sympathy has worse odds than the lottery!") How will Donald get the money?
The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill-Uncle Scrooge builds a new maximum-security money bin, which the Beagle Boys evince an interest in. Can Donald help save his uncle's fortune?
The Screaming Cowboy-Donald composes and sells a song to a radio station, thus winning a trip to the mountains. Little does he know that a hermit living there despises the song! (There's a Little Bad Wolf lookalike kid in this story, BTW.)
Oh, please.
Statuesque Spendthrifts-One of the funnier stories in this collection, Uncle Scrooge and the Maharajah of Howdoyustan feud with each other over who's richer by each building bigger and bigger statues.
Rocket Wing Saves the Day-The kids adopt a racing pidgeon and train him for an upcoming pidgeon race; there's just one problem...he's afraid of train whistles!
The Think Box Bollix-Donald is annoyed when the kids begin helping wacky inventor Gyro Gearloose with his inventions, and tries to play a prank on them...but the prank backfires(majorly)!
An excellent read, and a good companion piece to Lost in the Andes.
