George, Kallie Duck,
Duck, Dinosaur Illustrated by Oriol
Vidal Harper, 2016. $17.99
PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Mama Duck has three eggs and she is excited
to have a family. The first two eggs
hatch and the baby ducks like to compete, but when the third egg hatches (and
happens to be a dinosaur), the dinosaur wins all the competitions. They compete over who is the biggest,
funniest or sweetest and Mama Duck is just happy to have her family and the
babies are happy to have Mama Duck.
At first
is seems with this title the book would be a play on the child game, Duck,
Duck, Goose, but it isn’t. It’s a book
about baby ducks who compete for their mom’s attention. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious moral to
the story and the pictures aren’t that engaging-except for the dinosaur
illustration and he is ADORABLE.

OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
