About this title

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–Children accustomed to fluffy white and yellow ducks will enjoy the distinguished air of this sophisticated wood duck who sports a vest, bow tie, and hat. Lucky Duck is indeed quite lucky as he goes through his day, quite unaware that he is narrowly avoiding one disaster after another. He just misses being hit in the head by a falling can of paint, stepping into an open manhole, etc. Done in tones of brown and green, the artwork offers a calming view of the bird's nearly hazardous experiences. The illustrations contain a considerable amount of detail, allowing youngsters to find something new on repeated viewings. Although some of the interjections ("Good grief," "Whoa," "Whew") may be challenging for the earliest readers to decode, the story is amusing enough to grab children's interest. This book is appropriate for beginning readers still working closely with adults.–Anne L. Tormohlen, Deerfield Elementary School, Lawrence, KS
