A plucky tale about following your dreams, featuring 12 quirky singalong songs in Spanish! A little duck from the Prairies dreams of making it in New York City and bringing his ducky dance to the Broadway stage. His lonesome journey seems bound for failure until he meets a truck driver named Big Better. She points him in the right direction and gives him that little nudge he needs to tackle the Big Apple. Cheer this little guy on in this never-give-up-on-your-dreams narrative of courage, self-esteem, friendship, and encouragement. The accompanying album (included on a CD and via a unique digital download code) features 12 happy-go-lucky songs about alligators that waltz at midnight, little girls who sing off-key to get tomatoes thrown at them, and opera-singing slugs that sneak out at night to do the boogie-woogie. La historia-canción que da título al libro es sobre un patito de la pradera que tiene un gran sueño - ir a la cuidad de Nueva York y hacer su baile de patito en Broadway. Su viaje aventurero parece condenado al fracaso, hasta que conoce a una camionera llamada Gran Betty. Ella le señala la dirección correcta y le da el empujoncito que necesita para afrontar la Gran Manzana. Canciones adicionales presentan a caimanes que bailan el vals a la medianoche, niñas que cantan fuera de tono para que les arrojen tomates y babosas que cantan opera y salen a hurtadillas en la noche para bailar el boogie-woogie.
