About the Author
Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a Chicago-based writer. She is the author of Little Pea, Little Hoot, Little Oink, and several other children's and adult trade books.
I bought this for my 3 year old son who loves animals however although it is a very simple book, the concept is lost on a young child and it is too simple to keep their attention, so I would recommend this for someone much older. It is a clever book though and I enjoyed reading it, hence why it still gets 4 out of 5 stars :-)
This is a charming book much loved by my two year old grand daughter. Amy Rosenthal writes perfect books for the pre schooler-wonderful illustrations by Lichtenfeld, good reading aloud text and with humour that appeals both to the adult reader and child listener. I recommend all their books. From a Granny Nanny

5.0 out of 5 starsA must-have13 April 2009
By larr44 - Published on Amazon.com

Like "The Ok Book" and "What Are You So Grumpy About", "Duck! Rabbit!" has quickly become a mainstay at bedtime. Much to the chagrin of Curious George. A clever concept with equally unique writing and illustration styles make this a fun read that brings a laugh every time we read it. We look forward to many more titles from these authors.

5.0 out of 5 starsCute, Cute, Cute! - a review of Duck! Rabbit!4 Mar 2009
By Pam T - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Amy Krouse Rosenthal has written a ton of good books, but I think this has got to be our favorite. "Duck! Rabbit!" is just a lot of fun and my two kids -just turned 7 and 9-- have poured over the book ever since it arrived.
The story's roots are in the age-old optical illusion and Tom Lichtenheld has done a fabulous job in making the image simpler and more kid-friendly while keeping it's dual element (it's a rabbit. No, it's a duck!).
Considerations::: Duck! Rabbit! is great fun. My kids love both the artwork and dialog.
The book has broad appeal (I thought it was fun) and it ought to appeal to children in the 3ish thru 9ish age range.
It is an Excellent Read-aloud which I think could be used as a primer: the text is large; the sentences simple.
The Accelerated Reading number for Duck! Rabbit! is a generic "1". This means that the vocabulary and syntax have been found to be at the 1st Grade level. The exact month within the 1st Grade hasn't been determined.

4.0 out of 5 starsDuck Rabbit8 May 2009
By P. Peeler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I first saw this book on Grandparents' Day at my grandson's school. I was amazed that a children's book about different ways of looking at the same thing was so cleverly written and illustrated that even an adult found it interesting.
