Praise for Monkey and Duck Quack Up!:

“With a three-day cruise on the line as a prize, Monkey drafts his friend Duck to participate in a rhyming contest . . . bright bold artwork . . . serious read-aloud potential.” --Publishers Weekly

“Younger listeners will enjoy completing Monkey's unfinished verses within the story, and slightly older children will be spurred to create their own lists of rhyming words.” --Booklist

“A solid choice for rhyming play.” --Kirkus
