Giggle, Giggle, Quack by Doreen Cronin

"But keep an eye on Duck. He's trouble."

This is another book by Doreen Cronin (and illustrated by Betsy Lewin), the creators of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type which I reviewed previously.

As with Click, Clack, Moo this story takes place on Farmer Brown's Farm. Farmer Brown has decided to take a vacation (can you blame him with animals like these?). Farmer Brown's brother Bob has been left in charge of the farm. Unfortunately he is not aware of Duck's writing ability, and Duck's fondness to improve the quality of life for the animals and for making humans miserable.

I think this book may be even funnier and sillier than Click, Clack, Moo. Its a great read aloud that should be enjoyed by a wide range of children, but probably best for the 3-7 year old crowd. Another great introduction to the power of writing for the younger set, and possibly teaching the lesson not to believe everything that you read.

There is a third installment of these books called Duck for President which I plan on reviewing soon.
