This clever and hilarious story stars Cat, who starts out perfectly content and relaxed, and Duck, who infuriates him by meowing like a cat instead of quacking like Cat thinks he should. Written completely in dialogue, this minimalist text by award-winning novelist Sharon G. Flake (in her debut picture book) is fun to read aloud and easy enough for newly independent readers to enjoy on their own. Anna Raff�s humorous and deceptively simple artwork highlights the characters� personalities, showing Duck�s quirkiness and good humor and Cat�s rising frustration as Duck impersonates a variety of animals, refusing to concede that he is, indeed, a duck. Duck�s silliness will appeal to children who enjoy pretend play, and older siblings will relate to Cat�s annoyance as Duck refuses to leave his side. This concise, funny story is ideal for multiple readings, with playful details in the artwork and humor that never fades.
