Description
A Junior Library Guild selection.
When the gang decides to build a hangout where everyone can chill together, there are supplies to gather, the puuurrrfect tree to find, and of course-an awesome name to pick! Turkey wonders: What about the Doozy Den? But when Cat tells the gang that tree forts aren't cool, everybody's feathers get ruffled-especially Duck's. In three short chapters, perfect for readers just gaining confidence, Duck and his friends once again show that being cool is never about being mean!
