Bear and Duck are best friends, but they are very different. Duck likes to try new things, and Bear ... well, Bear likes not to. ​​ When Duck needs a friend for her dance class, Bear reluctantly agrees. Bear’s big size causes problems at first, but he soon discovers that he might just be a very good dancer. ​​ Bear and Duck is a story about friendship, confidence, and overcoming the fear of trying new things.
