Edelson enhances the allegorical tale, about goodness and honoring commitments, with striking renderings of anthropomorphic animals. -- Publishers Weekly, July 30, 2018 /////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Once there was a very small duck with a very loud quack. So they called him Quackling. Now, Quackling was clever and he worked hard, so he saved up a good deal of money. In fact, he saved up so much that the King himself came to borrow some. Quackling was proud to loan his money to the King. But a year went by, then two, then three, and the King never paid him back. I've waited long enough, said Quackling. So he took a sack for the money, and he started for the castle, calling, Quack! Quack! Quack! I want my money back! Before long, he came upon a ladder leaning against a wall. Where are you going, Quackling? said Ladder. To the King for my money, said Quackling. To the King! said Ladder. How wonderful! Will you take me with you? Why not? said Quackling. One can never have too many friends. And he called out, Quack! Quack! Quack! Ladder into sack! Quick as you can blink, Ladder was in the sack. Then Quackling walked on, calling, Quack! Quack! Quack! I want my money back!
