Synopsis and trailer follow...

This is an animated series about a girl with big eyes and a green hat and her flappy, quacky best friend Duck. The delightfully-drawn duo embark on a series of simple but exciting adventures, exploring the world in their own imaginative, quirky way, trying to reach a rainbow, pretending to be a penguin, or helping an umbrella to stay dry.

Every step of the way they are guided by the narrator who offers helpful suggestions and makes sure they don’t go too far. And they are joined by other friends and neighbours Bug, Scarf Lady, Lots of Shallots and Scooter Boy.
