Critics Review
“Readers will quickly catch on and enjoy guessing what the duckling decides to make for each successive animal … Judge’s mastery of the expressive animal face is on full display. No worries here.” – Horn Book Magazine
“Duckling’s energy is comically propulsive, and watercolor and pencil illustrations by Judge (Forty Winks) are downright luscious, rendered in creamy whites, warm browns, butter yellows, and blush pinks.” – Publishers Weekly
“Mellow watercolors ooze old-fashioned charm, with monotone barn backgrounds contrasting with bright pops of color from the lively, charismatic barnyard animals. With raucous stream-of-consciousness narration, the duckling is both hero and villain, and the story’s a kick to read aloud… Adorable. Readers will flock to this barnyard charmer. – Kirkus Reviews
