<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published by Walker Books Australia, 2018"--Colophon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this funny nod to Chicken Little, a quiet afternoon on the farm might be the scene of a barnyard disaster waiting to happen.</b> <p/>When Duck runs around the farm shouting "DUCK!" to the other animals, they grow exasperated as they haughtily explain to Duck which animal is which. Unfortunately, something<i> is</i> falling from the sky. But perhaps "DUCK!" isn't the best warning. Perhaps what Duck <i>should</i> have said is . . . "RUN!"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Eckstrom's cartoon-style art enhances the humor at every turn, even including tiny, distant images of the house hurtling through the sky on pages before its crash-landing. Wonderful--sure to beckon repeat reads.<br>--Kirkus Reviews <p/>The pencil, acrylic, and digital art undercuts some of the action with fuzzy edges and a muted palette, but the real possibility here lies in the performance, with the animals' compounding upon their frustrated answers to Duck's misinterpreted command ("You are a duck, and he is a horse, and she is a cow, and he is a pig, and I am a sheep"), culminating in a very adult-sounding lecture about the value of difference--right before the wind picks up. Use this as a playful counterpart to the classic "Chicken Little" for an engaging storytime.<br>--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Meg McKinlay </b>is an award-winning author of children's picture books and novels. Her work includes <i>Duck for a Day </i>and <i>No Bears, </i>both illustrated by Leila Rudge. Meg McKinlay lives in Australia. <p/><b>Nathaniel Eckstrom </b>has illustrated a number of picture books. <i>DUCK! </i>is his first picture book with Candlewick Press. He lives in Sydney, Australia.
