Description



About the Book



Infectious rhymes and fresh, expressive watercolors liven up the pursuit between a wily fox and Mama Duck and her brood, which ends when Mama Duck confronts the villain and beats him at his own game. Full color.



Book Synopsis



"Story hour alert! Here's a book with a clever premise, a bouncy text, and sunny, funny pictures. . . . Supremely satisfying." -- Booklist (starred review)

Mama Duck has a good hunch that the big brown creature waddling behind her babies is no duck! As the foxy impostor sneaks closer and closer to Mama Duck's trailing brood, little ones will delight in shouting out his identity. Infectious rhythms and fresh, expressive watercolors liven up the pursuit, which ends when Mama Duck confronts the villain, beak to snout, and beats him at his own game.



Review Quotes




"Whimsical watercolor drawings fill each page highlighting the fox's silly antics. The rhyming text filled with repetitive phrases make this a natural for reading aloud." --Kirkus Reviews

"Bates's (Just You and Me) watercolors possess a sunlit, translucent grace, yet he still reaps plenty of comedy from his characterizations--whether it's Mama Duck's narrowed-eyed maternal skepticism or the fox's woeful look as he plunges into the drink. Other details, such as the fox's snout peeking out from the flower pots or piglets romping in the mud with the ducklings, keep the setting cheerful and familiar, and undercut the villain's menace." --Publishers Weekly
