Duck, Duck, Groove

By Jeanette Fazzari Jones

A dancing duck. A flashy raincoat. A forest full of opinions.
Get ready to groove with a joyful picture book about being yourself--even when others say not to.

Upton isn't your average duck. He's got style, rhythm, and a brand-new raincoat that makes him strut his stuff with flair. But when other forest animals insist "Ducks don't do that ", Upton begins to wonder--should he tone it down or keep flapping to his own beat?

Perfect for fans of Giraffes Can't Dance and Funky Chicken, this upbeat and empowering read-aloud is full of humor, heart, and bold illustrations that celebrate:
- Self-expression and confidence
- Peer pressure and fitting in
- Social-emotional learning (SEL) themes
- Movement and rhythm
- Forest animal friendships

Whether you're looking for a funny animal story, a dancing duck picture book, or a children's book about individuality, Duck Duck Groove brings the groove to story time.

Recommended for ages 4-8
-Great for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary
-A standout gift for confident kids, quirky readers, or dance-loving duck fans

Let Upton show your little ones how to shine their brightest--raincoat, rhythm, and all.
