A peaceful journey aboard a duck cruise ship

One clear day, a family of frogs arrived at the Turtle Pond Pier.
We're on our way to visit a friend's house across the river, bouncing around on a boat.
A little frog looks out the window and screams.
“It’s a duck cruise!” A family of ducks gently cut through the waves as they enter the dock.
A cruise ship is loaded onto the mother duck's back.
“Please board the ship now.
I will travel with my babies since they are still young.
i look forward to!"
A mother duck carrying her little guests on her back slowly goes down the river.
The baby ducks also follow their mothers.
“Thank you so much for choosing our cruise today.
“I hope you have a wonderful trip.”
"Travel is a Duck Cruise" is the fourth book in Motoyasu Keiji's "Travel is" series.
In previous works, you flew high into the sky to go to faraway places and drove a taxi into the forest, and this time, you go on a trip by water with a family of affectionate ducks.
If the previous installments gave you a thrilling thrill with their scale and speed, this installment offers a sense of tranquility and peace, as if you were floating on gentle waves.
Every time I turn the page, I feel like I can vividly feel the warm sunlight, refreshing air, and the subtle scent of flowers and grass.
This story subtly portrays the love between family members.
Even while carrying passengers, the mother duck looks at her babies with a deep gaze, and the baby ducks follow her around and imitate her cutely, making you smile.
After completing their journey, the duck family huddles together in a field of wildflowers and shares a snack.

These days, when the heat has eased and the air has become much fresher, this is the perfect book for the whole family to read together, their foreheads pressed against each other on the grass.

“Thank you for using the Ori Cruise today.

“I hope you have a wonderful trip!”

This book elegantly depicts the journey of the Frog Family from boarding a boat at the Turtle Pond Pier to disembarking at the Lotus Pond Pier to meeting their friends.
When you open the book, the first thing that appears is a panoramic view of the Turtle Pond Pier.
A family of frogs just arrived in front of the magnificent turtle-shaped pier.
Although it is a small figure, the little frog's appearance shows anticipation and excitement for the trip.

The inside of the pier is very spacious and clean.
There are amenities like ticket booths, travel agencies, coffee shops, escalators, and even tables for stamping souvenirs and vending machines.
The animal guests who filled the pier all had faces full of anticipation.

Finally, the duck cruise ship arrives, and the real trip begins.
The baby ducks follow the busy mother duck, who is busy working and raising her children, with a cute yet dignified appearance.
As the cruise ship passes through 'Tea Village', 'Box City', and 'Flower Field', dazzling scenery and wonderful sights captivate your eyes.
Eating a packed lunch on board a boat is another pleasure of traveling.
Then suddenly, raindrops start falling.
The raindrops soon turn into a downpour.
But that's no problem.
Because it just takes a little while to stop the rain under the bridge.
Just then, the 'Half Symphony Orchestra' ship arrives, and the ducklings begin to sing along to the 'Cricket Orchestra'.
Even little frogs sing together happily.
“Gung ggung ggung! Croak croak croak!” “Passengers, give a big round of applause to our adorable performers!” “Bravo!”
As I was singing happily in the rain, the sun suddenly came out.
A rainbow hangs in the sky.
The boat sails down the river again, and soon reaches its destination.
The salamander family welcomes the frog family.
A warm evening awaits both families today.

The more you look at it, the more interesting and beautiful it becomes.
The joy of discovering hidden stories in every corner!

As in the previous installments, author Motoyasu Keiji has hidden cute and fun devices like a treasure hunt.
Readers who have been following the "Travel" series will be delighted to see the "Swallow Airlines," "Pigeon Airlines," and "Dragonfly Couriers" flying in the sky while the duck cruise boats sail down the river.

Travel writer Kim Banana, who appears every time like licorice, is also a welcome sight.
As you turn the pages, you will meet Kim Banana who has just arrived at the pier, Kim Banana who is stamping a commemorative stamp on one side of the pier, Kim Banana who is diligently writing something in her notebook while drinking coffee, and Kim Banana who is taking pictures of baby ducks singing in the rain.
It is a building lined up along the river, and it is fun to take apart the structures and such.
It is full of witty elements such as the 'Dung Beetle Monorail' that connects directly to the 'Spiderweb Airport', the golden 'Dung Beetle Tower' that is said to bring good luck just by looking at it, the 'Begonia Bridge' that is covered in colorful flowers, and the 'Flower Field Theater' that is showing familiar movies like 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
In addition to the duck family, there are many other animals in the river, each diligently doing their own work.
The 'Mallard Shipping' and 'Teal New Ferry' that carry passengers like duck cruise ships, the 'Land Puppy Rescue Team' responsible for water safety, the butterfly captains who drive the gondolas at the 'Flower Field Pier', the water striders who deliver news by jumping on the water, the 'Half Orchestra' that plays wonderful music on the water, the 'Insect Band' that welcomes passengers getting off the boat with exciting music...
It is warm and affectionate to see small, different beings living together peacefully.
