Duck Goes Meow

Woof! says Dog. Moo! says Cow.  Cluck! says Hen, and Duck Goes … meow.

A little yellow duckling is amongst animal friends who are all sure of the sounds they make: hiss, neigh, moo, cheep, cluck and oink.

But when Duck goes ‘meow’, the other animals say no, that is wrong, try again … then Duck’s mama arrives, and boy, do they get a surprise!

Written by Juliette MacIver and illustrated by Carla Martell

Review

NZ Booklovers ~ Inspired by a real-life furry feathered friendship, this is a fun, quirky and adorable book from the brilliant author Juliette MacIver. MacIver, of Marmaduke Duck and That’s Not A Hippopotamus fame, nails it again. Duck Goes Meow is entertaining and perfectly pitched for younger readers. MacIver is a master of rhyme and her talent at making it natural, rhythmic and not a chore for an adult reader is sublime yet again. Read the full review.
