Review(s):
“[A] playful story that has readers wreaking havoc on a duck's island getaway. Relaxing with an ice-cream cone in a beach chair, Duck couldn't he happier. "Whoa! What just happened? Who turned the page?" he shouts as his ice cream goes flying. Realizing that readers are responsible, Duck begs them to stop turning pages, but books don't work that way, and Duck is soon fending off pinching crabs, inclement weather, and pirates who want to turn him into soup. ... Handsomely executed colored pencil illustrations play up Duck's growing indignation, and Soffer doubles down on the schadenfreude with an ending that lets readers ruin not just Duck's day but that of the pirates as well.” —Publishers Weekly
“The interactive picture-book concept isn't new, but Soffer pulls it off in a satisfying way, with spot-on grade-school humor. . . . Meta storytime fun.” —The Horn Book
