An hilarious exploration of the alphabet * Parents In Touch *
A quacking read aloud, a fun introduction to vowels and a brilliant way of showing children they need to be flexible in their approach to letters and sounds. * Red Reading Hub *
The children at school gave this book a rarely awarded 100 out of 10....An absolute delight of a book so please go and grab one for your bookshelves as quickly as you can! * The Bookbag *
From the creators of the excellent 'Oi, Frog', this is a must-have book for class libraries to share with children who are learning to read and write. ...Jim Field's illustrations work brilliantly for this story - but be warned, you'll need to practice before attempting to read it aloud! * Reading Zone *
