"""The best read-aloud book in decades... Destined to be a classic, the illustrations are beautifully simple, the words are simply hilarious and as the suspense builds, it’s like playing the best interactive party game. Young or not so young, we all need a good laugh and this book is really blinking funny"" -- Jeanne Willis * LoveReading4Kids * ""The illustrations feature a pastel color palette and a cartoon aesthetic, with a handwritten font used for emphasis. The simplicity of the illustrations keeps the reader's focus on the duck's unblinking eyes. A perfect prelude to a staring contest"" * Booklist! *"
