Silly Billy is alone at home and longs for a friend. On the way to his fort in a tree he meets a rapping duck named Ducky Dee. They click "quick on the quack," becoming friends just like that. The Adventures of Silly Billy and Ducky Dee are told in rapping rhyme by urban author Joe Benjamin. The pen and colored pencil illustrations by his pal, Matthew Boffemmyer, are clever and quirky.
