Synopsis
No more quacking! No more chatting! And no more SPLASHING!
Duck is on a mission to find a peaceful pond. He wants to be ALONE.
What will Duck do when he finds the perfect pond… but someone’s already in it?
Review by Stacey
Don’t Mess With Duck is a book that I am ashamed to say reminded me of myself. Duck likes peace and quiet but he keeps on having to move because every time he settles somewhere groups of people arrive and make lots of noise and splash around soaking him.
He thinks that he has found the perfect place, but it is frog’s home. He likes the quiet too, so they get along fine, that is until another family arrives wanting to share their pond. What will they do?
I might be known for liking my peace and quiet, especially when trying to relax or read my book and I might be known for moving numerous times to get away from people that invade my space, hence why this book reminds me of myself!
The book is superb, give you a good laugh, and has some impressive full-page, bright, and colourful illustrations that are quite comical at times.
The motto behind the book is that sometimes it is good to share and be around others rather than be alone. Though I also think that it is good for the soul to want some time for yourself and not have to listen to others shouting, screaming, disturbing your peace. A mixture of both is the perfect cocktail as far as I’m concerned.
