<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What Mr. Duck wants most in the world is a little bit of piece and quiet, but the other animals on the farm simply don't understand. But as Mr. Duck discovers, sometimes peace and quiet can be just a little bit lonely. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>All Duck wants in the world is a little bit of peace and quiet, but the other animals on the farm just don't understand. Can Duck make friends with his fellow barnyard animals and still get the peace and quiet he wants?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Sauer's clever use of language-"Mr. Duck grumbled. He mumbled. He flip-flop-fumbled"-will engage children and help soften the getting-along message in a humorous and likable way. Mack picks up on this note, filling the pages with color and action. The expressive characters (especially Mr. Duck) provide amusing touches in illustrations that sprawl across the pages. A pleasing book that offers a viable avenue for discussion about how sometimes compromise is the best way to go.-<b><i>School Library Journal</i></b><br><br>Sauer's dour and disciplined duck and his rhyming hissy fits will most definitely entertain. Mack's furry and feathered wide-eyed animals rendered in ebullient acrylic are a great match for this fine farmyard fable. - <b><i>KIRKUS</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tammi Sauer is the author of <i>Mr. Duck Means Business</i>, <i>Mostly Monsterly</i>, <i>Chicken Dance</i>, <i>Cowboy Camp</i>, and other books.
