APPEALS TO: MANY
A family of ducklings is trying to navigate their morning routine without waking up the momma duck. Morning is the perfect time to explore the farm so they snuck out of the duck house. Two of the three ducklings know how to be really, really quiet. But the youngest, who is fashioned in a blue scarf, ultimately blurts out, “QUACK” at the hint of any danger. From a house bucking to a fox burrow, the ducklings find themselves in compromising situations. Will the ducklings finally make their way safely back to the duck house?
Howley’s art style is stylish and warm, with expressive characters that perfectly capture the "tip-toeing" energy of the story. The illustrations are the sweetest part of this picture book. There is something so relatable about trying to be as quiet as possible, only for the smallest thing to trigger a giant explosion of noise. I loved the sweet, simple plot and the adorable illustration.
