Slow-Poke – Character Insight

Welcome to the Slow-Poke – Character Insight page. I love animals and baby ducks are no different. They are cute, cuddly and adorable. I have seen several ducklings in my lifetime and I love watching them as they learn to swim with their parents and learn to eat food from the waters they swim in.

One of the reasons I created Slow-Poke was my love for ducklings. The other reason is that Slow-Poke was a name that just popped into my head and it kind of stuck.

Slow-Poke is a cute and cuddly duckling but he does have one problem and that problem is that he is slow at everything he does. Sometimes his slowness gets him into lots of trouble and sometimes his friends become impatient in having to wait for him all the time.
