A Very Quacky Christmas by Frances Watts and Ann James - ESSENTIAL

A Very Quacky Christmas by Frances Watts and Ann James
. PICTURE BOOK. Doubleday (Random), 2020. $18. 9780593173770 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

 AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

 Samantha Duck not only loves Christmas for herself, but she also wants to spread the love to very animal in the world. Her best friend, Sebastian Turtle is skeptical, but goes along to help. Eventually all of the animals on the farm get involved and they are ready for Christmas Eve – but there is one last hurdle they need to overcome. 

The cover looks festive and silly, but the book inside is touching and sweet. I love Sebastian’s skepticism, because he is also willing to be supportive all along the way. He is a good balance for Samantha’s enthusiasm. I will be getting a copy for my personal collection!
