Customer Reviews

Very Creative

This is a great little book. I purchased it for my 5 year old grandson. It's just very clever and creative. I think it inspires children to think more about how things can be perceived in different ways. Highly recommended!

A must-have

Like "The Ok Book" and "What Are You So Grumpy About", "Duck! Rabbit!" has quickly become a mainstay at bedtime. Much to the chagrin of Curious George. A clever concept with equally unique writing and illustration styles make this a fun read that brings a laugh every time we read it. We look forward to many more titles from these authors.

Cute, Cute, Cute! - a review of Duck! Rabbit!

Amy Krouse Rosenthal has written a ton of good books, but I think this has got to be our favorite. "Duck! Rabbit!" is just a lot of fun and my two kids -just turned 7 and 9-- have poured over the book ever since it arrived. The story's roots are in the age-old optical illusion and Tom Lichtenheld has done a fabulous job in making the image simpler and more kid-friendly while keeping it's dual element (it's a rabbit. No, it's a duck!). Considerations::: Duck! Rabbit! is great fun. My kids love both the artwork and dialog. The book has broad appeal (I thought it was fun) and it ought to appeal to children in the 3ish thru 9ish age range. It is an Excellent Read-aloud which I think could be used as a primer: the text is large; the sentences simple. The Accelerated Reading number for Duck! Rabbit! is a generic "1". This means that the vocabulary and syntax have been found to be at the 1st Grade level. The exact month within the 1st Grade hasn't been determined. Pam T~ mom and reviewer for BooksForKids-reviews
