My daughter's favorite book

I have to admit, when I was given this book -- whose text is predominantly the word "quack" -- I was skeptical. It seemed a little like a cop-out to avoid writing clever dialog, but once I read it to my 14 month old daughter, I was sold. It immediately became her most requested book. At her age, repeating animal sounds is fun, and nothing is better than a book full of "quack." She can even read along! She's now almost 17 months and "Quack!" is still her favorite (although Dr. Suess runs a close second).

Quack rules!

This is such a great book. My kids love it and my wife and I get a kick out of it as well. There is something quircky and witty about using sounds in the place of words, and when kids get it; it's really fun for them. My 2 year-old especially loves this book. He has now taken to substituing words in everyday speach with other animal sounds. Its pretty funny. Anyway, if you have a child, under the age of about 4 I would buy this book right now. Your kid(s) will love it!

speaking duck is fun!

Of all of our children's books, my one year old daughter enjoys it when I read this one to her the most. She laughs when I "quack, quack, quacked quack!" It's amazing, but I understand duck!

Quacking Hilarious!!

I'm a manager in a bookstore and I began a shift meeting by reading this book aloud to my booksellers: we range in age from 19-40 and we all laughed and were charmed by this very original book. It's tooooo funny! We'll be using this for a storytime and I just know that the kids will fall in love too. Quack is a duck who longs to quack to the moon. But he soon discovers that such adventuring is not all it's "quacked" up to be. The funniest, but saddest and most touching part is when he's on the moon all alone: "Quack quacked, and quacked..." meaning that Quack the duck cried and cried for loneliness. That part may not sound particularly funny, but an expressive reader makes all the difference at a storytime. It can really be a hoot--oops! Sorry! I mean a QUACK! :) I highly recommend this book.
