With Mike away on a milkman's mini-break, Nelson and his stablemates arrange a holiday all of their own. It's the first time that the rats, Rhys and Rhodri, have been to the seaside, but the All Quacks, under the keen eye of Sir Francis Drake, take to the waves like...ducks to water! Just as Nelson thinks it?s safe to relax, two of his crew go missing and a major sea rescue swings into action.

About the Author
Simon Weston OBE is a former British Army soldier who became well known after suffering severe injuries during the bombing of the Sir Galahad in the Falklands War. After recovering from his initial injuries, he has worked tirelessly for charity and is now a well-known personality on radio and TV, and much in demand as an after dinner speaker throughout the UK. He has published three books for children with Pont Books, A Nod from Nelson and its sequel, Nelson to the Rescue and Nelson at Sea. Television personality and presenter David FitzGerald (Fitz) currently writes for newspapers and magazines as well as hosting a regular Saturday morning programme for BBC Radio Devon. He and Simon Weston have been friends since they first met over twenty years ago. They share a whacky sense of humour and a wicked sense of fun, and enjoyed collaborating on three books for children, A Nod from Nelson, Nelson to the Rescue and Nelson at Sea published by Pont Books. David Fitzgerald also published A Very Berry Christmas with illustrator Robert Dudley in 2012.
Review
In this third story from Nelson, the horse who drew the last horse-drawn milkfloat in Wales, Mike the Milk, his owner, goes to Llandudno for the weekend by himself. So, Nelson and his friends the pigeon with no sense of direction, the rat brothers, the deaf race-horse, the frog who thinks he is a spy, and the ducks secretly decide to have a holiday of their own. They find the perfect guest house in Tenby to cater for all their needs, right down to the oat cuisine, and become involved in a rescue at sea, which brings them fame they will need to keep from Mike; but how can they do that? The story is full of gags that 79-year-olds may not fully grasp, but it gallops along with verve and vigour, and Jac Joness wonderfully funny illustrations complement it perfectly.
