The Story of Googala Duck: Encounter with a Hunter - The Story of Googala Duck, #3

The Story of Googala Duck: Encounter with a Hunter is the third in a series of picture books about Googala Duck, who decides to stay in the pond for the winter, while his family goes South for the next six months. Now that Googala can't find a place to stay with his friends who have created their own nests for the winter, he goes through the cold dark forest looking a place to spend the night. His journey leads him to the cabin of a hunter and his dog Ajax, but while Googala thinks he has found a wonderful warm place to stay, he doesn't realize the hunter plans to cook him for dinner, and he has to escape to survive.

John Pluff has long been inspired by children's books. When growing up, his mother read to him and his five siblings, and his teachers read everything from Robin Hood to books by contemporary authors. 

     John began writing, after he started reading and telling stories at bedtime to his children, and then improvised with a story of his own. Googala Duck was one that he wrote and remembered from those years, and he turned it into a series of picture books.

     John also writes film scripts and is working on additional children's books.
