Duncan the Dancing Duck - Couverture souple

"Hoff's economical and subtly funny text clearly point out the give-and-take in Duncan's family: when the prodical duck returns, he does 'one more dance - just for his mother,' to acknowledge his gratutide for his freedom and for the security to return home. The illustrations are likewise basic and adroit - Duncan's eyes are closed in a reverie and his beak is held proudly as he twirls, and his multi-specied fans smile and wave with enthusiasm. This picture book is winningly light on it's feet, conveying a timeless, cheerful simplicity." Publishers Weekly

"The simple text, accompanied by the bright and bold pictures makes Duncan a real charmer. He'll be a star for years to come." School Library Journal
