"A duck likes to pretend to be other animals, much to the consternation of a very pragmatic cat. beginning readers can have fun." --Kirkus Reviews "YA author Flake shows her goofier side in this giggle-inducing picture book, which works not only for a preschool crowd but also for an emerging reader. The all dialogue text is printed in a simple, legible font inside large speech bubbles. Soft colors and lightly textured backgrounds create plenty of white space for the eye to focus. The 'who's on first?' humor, utilizing a large number of sight words, is heightened by hilarious facial expressions in the cartoonish illustrations, created using sumi ink washes and pen-and-pencil drawings and assembled and colored digitally. Whether enjoyed independently or at storytime, readers will laugh their way through this entertaining book." --Booklist "When Duck insists he is a cat and meows to prove his claim, Cat corrects his obvious error by asserting that ducks always say 'quack, quack.

' Cat is the straight man to screwball Duck, and this makes the two an appealing pair sure to be adored by young readers. Raff's soft pastel illustrations are a perfect match for the quick-witted, comic book-style text. Fans of Mo Willems's popular 'Elephant and Piggie' and 'Pigeon' series will embrace this silly animal tale wholeheartedly." --School Library Journal "Sharon's text just begs to be read aloud, and the meter really reminds me of Dr. Seuss." --Anna Raff, Illustrator.
