About this title

Review:

Jez Alborough has a talent for telling a tall tale or two; in Fix-it Duck he surpasses himself. Enter one rather ridiculous--and, frankly, not very bright--duck on a mission to fix a leaky roof. What follows is a gloriously farcical farmyard adventure that will have tots and adults giggling merrily.

Fabulously bright, detailed illustrations capture the mood of the humourous text beautifully, making this divinely comic picture book for the very young an absolute must-read for everyone who has ever tried their hand at a little DIY. (Ages 2 and over.) --Susan Harrison

Review:

Reviews for Duck in the Truck include:

‘Rhyme, illustration, wit and inventiveness combine to produce outstanding quality.’ TES Primary

‘With light-hearted tension, wry characterisations and lots of squishy mud, this tale makes for a quacking good read-aloud.’ Publishers Weekly, US

‘Alborough’s text is perfect for reading out loud and the mix of close-up and panoramic illustrations give an animated, live-action feel.’ Junior

‘Colourful, arresting and busting with action.’ Child Education
