Book Overview
Growing up is never easy, but for an imaginative young drake it may well be impossible! Easily distracted by the endless fascinations of the world around him, Otis finds it hard to focus on any one thing for long. Even important, life-saving tasks such as learning to swim and fly can't keep his attention. Fortunately, this drake is as lucky as he is unique. After numerous mishaps and near misses-and with an unbeatable flair for the dramatic that will delight young readers-the befuddled Otis turns himself into swashbuckling Jack Quack, Renegade Drake, Prince of the Forest, King of the Lake. Miraculously, he even lives to tell the tale! Wonderfully detailed illustrations, focusing on facial expression and natural scenery, enhance the overall enjoyment of a truly madcap caper.

My daughter, age 3, and I love this book. Jack is silly and imaginitive. He wins his true love by just being himself - how refreshing. The illustrations are superb. I never get tired of reading this story. A lot of thought went into writing this book.
What a great book!

My girls (2 and 4 years old) and I love this book! It's a very cute tale about a very imaginative duck. It's a refreshing change from today's children's literature that often gets too deep to enjoy. No underlying messages here--just a nice story.
