Quick Quack Quentin

Quentin the duck, a very dapper duck in a straw boater it should be mentioned, has lost his A. His quack is very quick, in fact it’s only a QUCK. He goes off on his travels to find a replacement A. The animals on the farm can’t help and the farmer won’t want to be a FRMER. Dog tries to help out, and lends Quentin his O, but they agree he doesn’t sound like a duck if he says QUOCK. A hen, a bull and a pig all try to help but it’s no good – he really needs an A. Maybe Quentin will have more luck at the zoo…

Children will adore this fun play on letter swaps and spelling. The colours are bright and the characters expressive. It’s a great idea realised into a lovely book. Kes Gray and Jim Field are a picture book dream team at the moment and this sits beautifully besides the tremendous Oi Frog and the ridiculously brilliant How Many Legs?
