About this title

Review:

Duck in the Truck

With a nod to Dr. Seuss and a wink to John Burningham, Jez Alborough deals an irresistible lesson in rhyme and analogy, as well as storytelling, which is hugely entertaining. ‘Child Education’

Alborough’s pictures are addictive, combining graphic simplicity with painterly qualities... Duck in the Truck is a picture book where rhyme, illustration, wit and inventiveness combine to produce outstanding quality. ‘TES Primary’

Fix-It Duck

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 bursting with action. ‘Child Education’

Alborough’s illustrations are big and bold... the rhythmic text is a jaunty delight and brilliant for reading aloud. ‘The Guardian’
