Books with title Quack quack

Ten-year-old Shady Cook struggles with selective mutism caused by anxiety. His best friend, Pouya, understands―despite being the class clown, he has his own hang-ups lurking just below the surface. Shady’s parents, however, are eager to find a way to help their son start talking more, so when a live duck waddles into their lives and Shady starts to respond, they reluctantly decide to give Svenrietta the emotional support duck a chance. Before long, Shady, Pouya, and their diaper-wearing duck are working to help all of the underdogs (or is it underducks?) at their school―and there are many.

When a rhythmic read-aloud master pairs up with a Caldecott Honor­winning artist to visit endearing species of baby animals, the result can only be instant toddler appeal. QUACK! Mama Duck announces the hatching of five peeping, waddling, flapping, nibbling, wobbling, wibbling baby ducklings. Splish, splosh, splash! A lively, lilting text by Phyllis Root links with luminous collages by Holly Meade in an original board book perfect for reading aloud to the preschool crowd.

"Quack, quack! Buzz, buzz! Moooooooooo! Animals make sounds, and so can you! As you read and roar along, don’t forget the bluebird’s song!" The kitty-cat's "meow" and the puppy-dog's "woofs" have been among the favorite first sounds of children for generations. This book combines sweet and simple animal illustrations with each creature's sound, creating word pictures that help young children get a head start on learning about their world.
