Duck, Duck, Porcupine!

Duck, Duck, Porcupine!
by Salina Yoon (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Big Duck likes to boss around her younger brother, Little Duck, and she fancies herself the leader of their trio–when joined by their gentle friend Porcupine. Little Duck doesn’t speak yet, but through his expressions and his actions, he shows that he has a better grasp on any situation than his older sister. Told entirely through dialogue and visual storytelling with subtle humor throughout, Little Duck ends up getting the trio out of whatever jam they are in. (An early reader with three chapters)
