Unfortunately, something\u003ci\u003e is\u003c\/i\u003e falling from the sky. But perhaps “DUCK!” isn’t the best warning. Perhaps what Duck \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e have said is . . . “RUN!”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.\u003cbr\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003cb\u003eMeg McKinlay \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning author of children's picture books and novels.
