LOVE this book- great for giggles
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
We checked this book out at the library and my son (4 y/o) instantly loved it. We read it to my daughter (6 y/o) and she loved it too. It’s comical without being too in your face. The drawings are hilarious and you can’t help but love Duck. It’s super simple in terms of plot, but expertly silly. It’s all in the deliver of the reader so make sure you draw attention to the pictures (passage of time, facial reaction, etc), emote, and have fun with it. I would say this is great for children 4-10. And I believe most 7-8 year olds could read independently with relative ease depending on their level.

Love Latimer's books for children. So fun, clever, and original. And this title checks all the boxes. A fun story that will get readers thinking about ducks and blinking contests.
