Product Description

Review
DUCK'S KEY WHERE CAN IT BE? "The simple story builds up by involving the reader - a like the pantomine 'he's behind you' concept. Interactive fun." Junior Magazine "For its vibrant simplicity, this bright and bold open-the-flap book is irresistible... will continue to delight for many readings." Guardian "... will make reading together a hoot" BBC Parenting DUCK IN THE TRUCK "With a nod to Dr. Seuss and a wink to John Burningham, Jez Alborough deals an irresistible lesson in rhyme and analogy, as well as storytelling, which is hugely entertaining." Child Education "Alborough's pictures are addictive, combining graphic simplicity with painterly qualities! Duck in the Truck is a picture book where rhyme, illustration, wit and inventiveness combine to produce outstanding quality." TES Primary

Product Description
A hilarious new adventure featuring the inimitable Duck and his long-suffering friends, Sheep, Goat and Frog. Duck and friends go out one day with a bat, a ball and a glove to play. Duck hits the ball - but where does it fall? On a branch in the tree, now they can't play at all. Frog has an idea, Duck lends a hand but nothing turns out quite as planned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Class!, 27 Mar 2008
By D. Thurgood "dan.tee" (Liverpool Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Hit the Ball, Duck (Paperback)
This one is possibly the best, or at least tied in first place with Fix It Duck. Apart from some slightly dodgy grammar ("I can make your team more tall" says Frog!?) this book is a superlative riot from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story for younger children, 12 Jun 2009
By Tony Woodhouse (Rugby - England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hit the Ball, Duck (Paperback)
Very funny story for younger children. My two year old asks for it every single night at bed-time.

The simple rhymes make it easy to encourage your child to learn new words and help you "read" the story. Our son probably only has a vocabulary of about 50 words, but in amongst those are duck, ball, bat, tree, out, frog all from this one book.

It's such good fun to read that the adult doesn't get bored of it either. Has a nice moral sentiment too, which isn't always the case for childrens' books. Duck gets his just desserts for being too impulsive and over-keen, while frog who is belittled at the beginning of the book becomes the hero at the end.
