"""This winning New Zealand import is told in rollicking verse that scans beautifully and will have listeners echoing the animal sounds with gusto from start to finish. The animal characters burst from the pages with lively, cheeky personalities, and endearing Duck's qualities come through in the adorable, thick-lined illustrations. The conclusion is satisfying, and the book's theme of inclusion makes it a lovely selection to bring to the attention of adoptive families."" -- Kirkus Reviews"
