ReviewsThe board book edition of Fix-It Duck by Jez Alborough, the follow-up to Duck in a Truck (a quacking good read-aloud, according to PW), finds the handy quacker attempting to repair a leaky roof with his usual er, aplomb. (Kane/Miller, $7.99 32p ages 3-6 ISBN 978-1-933605-30-2; Mar.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information. 'With a nod to Dr. Seuss and a wink to John Burningham, Jez Alborough deals an irresistible lesson in rhyme and rhythm as well as storytelling, which is hugely entertaining.' Child Education Reviews for Duck in the Truck: 'Rhyme, illustration, wit and inventiveness combine to produce outstanding quality.' TES Primary '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 Praise for Hit the Ball Duck: 'A really great story; the best Duck book so far.' The Guardian
