When Dodsworth and the duck arrive in Paris, Dodsworth explains his one rule: "You can't cause any trouble here." "I wouldn't dream of it," the duck replies. But on the second day, the duck decides to find out how far a paper airplane can fly from the top of the Eiffel Tower. He uses paper from Dodsworth's bag that-oops-turns out to be money! Neither a job delivering bread nor Dodsworth's plan to paint and sell a picture solves their money woes. Can the duck get them out of the trouble he got them into? Full-color ink and watercolor illustrations.
Summary In “Bonjour,” Dodsworth and the duck arrive in Paris and have a meal. In “The City of Lights,” the duck rings the bells of Notre Dame and the two lose their money at the Eiffel Tower. In “An Afternoon Ride,” Dodsworth and the duck become delivery drivers and wind up in the middle of the Tour de France. In “A Lasting Impression,” the two go to the Louvre, Dodsworth paints a picture, and the duck becomes a street performer.
